*Gettin my hopes up and everything.*Sorry....my fault.
The renowned author, Jules Verne and H.G.Wells vigourously denied that the other had any influence on their work. (Wells accused Verne of being unable to write his way out of wet paper bag; while Verne accused Wells of scientifically implausable ideas. It's interesting to see this conflict continue in SF up to the present day).
