I'm really, really hoping you're cringing because we might think you copied it, not because you don't want credit for something *I* put forward....

Yeah, sure, right. There's a vast conspiracy out there to steal all my ideas, I just know it, and you're part of it, don't deny it, I can tell.....

Ye gods, now my postings misbehave? My kids' chaos fields must be bleeding over. Seriously, Katie, worry not. I can't count the times I've posted what I
thought was a brilliant insight, to a resounding chorus of crickets, and then someone else posted something very similar and started a rousing thread. And
I've read plaintive complaints from others, every so often, mentioning they've experienced the same phenomenon. It *is* disheartening, but I think it has
more to do with the oddities of Yahoo deliveries and other mail system gremlins than any intent to ignore or anything. [I hope.]

My brilliant goblin theory, on the other hand, has twice been not copied and pretty thoroughly ignored, alas. I know, it's so pedestrian, waging war through
economic bases; perhaps 'tis not the stuff of great stories. But it *would* work.....
