@ Bruce,
Such is the way of the world where,
“The best form of defence is offence”
And,
“The bigger the lie, the more it becomes the truth”
As the old saying has it,
“Fling enough mud and some of it will stick, where is anybodies guess”.
The only advice that can be given is,
1, Duck and cover.
2, Become a champion mud slinger.
As you and I both know having people take your work without credit or acknowledgment can be anoying. But with age comes the view that,
“Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery.”
After all if an idea does not have real value why steal it…
But the thing is as I’ve said before I don’t mind people using my ideas as long as they,
1, Give me a hat tip.
2, Buy you two drinks.
But hey some are to tight to even do that. Thus I hope,
“The cow-bird of doom, over flies them and…” 😉
