QUOTE: Originally posted by alco_fan Easy boys. This idea's been around since at least 1982 when I got it from some magazine or another and built a bunch o' firs. And it was probably an old idea then. Some folks on Internet forums have a slightly overstated idea of the forum's importance and a lack of perspective based on the history of the hobby. Jon

QUOTE: Originally posted by loathar Noah-Right. I made this post kind of tongue in cheek. I know that all this stuff gets recycled over and over. I just find it funny that some of the things we talk about here show up in MR 3-4 months later. I'm not knocking them. I think it's great that their spreading the info to people that don't know about these forums. I get a little bummed out when people reply "No, duh" to a post like this. I don't know, maybe it's MY dry sence of humor, or other peoples lack of any?
QUOTE: Originally posted by loathar ...sounds almost word for word ... ... I've said this before-They read what we post here, and then write articles about it giving credit to someone else.... ... If I was Aggro, I'd be shaking my head.[:0] ...
QUOTE: Originally posted by alco_fan Oh good grief. Untwist your knickers. The methods are different and there's nothing close to a word-for-word copy. Etc., etc., etc. Some similarities, some differences. Nowhere near a word-for-word copy. Not even close.
QUOTE: Originally posted by jfugate Well said, Jon. For example, I could get all wrapped around the axle about who invented the mushroom idea, since I came up with it on my own, but others got it to print before me. I'm not too worried about keeping score -- it's a great hobby and life's to short to worry about who gets the credit. You know what they say ... *originality* is defined as your ability to conceal your source. [swg] I think King Solomon said it best some 3,000 years ago ... "there's really nothing new under the sun" meaning there are darn few totally original ideas that we come up with that didn't have input from *someone else*.
