This is what I hate about such threads: 1.) Someone comes out and says "You stole someone's idea/invention." 2.) We get all excited, fighting for "the good of the artist and community." 3.) The debate and explanations ensue. 4.) We're told it's no longer any of our business. This happened recently with the Amy figure, and DAZ, and is still bubbling over the Tailor/Michael 2 issue. Listen folks, if you run into such a problem, why not just deal with the people involved, directly and privately? Either that, or have the decency to keep us in the loop ALL the way. Ron
