<< Nice to see that PJ also does not care to provide proper attribution to contributors. The story about Merkey was broken here, by heimdal31 in msgid 189506 on the 5th, a week ago.>>
As Br3n said, someone else could have easiliy e-mailed that information.
The only reason I did any digging on Merkey was because Atul666 posted something about a Canopy patent and I was curious. I suspect that the only reason Atul666 has been making his efforts to post link-filled data has been to fight the Grokwar threads--and that was certainly why I bothered to dig into one of his posts. So, since the Grokwars are in part because of PJ, you can just as easily say that PJ was the proximate cause of digging up the Merkey data :-)
Seriously, I post stuff here to fight the scam. I post it so that it will get disseminated widely. When I get a new idea from someone else's post or when I see a new connection beceause of information in three or four different posts, I try to give some pointers to the posts. That is as much because I think anyone wanting to dig into the topic in more detail may find the original threads informative.
I have no problem with the some of my posts inspiring someone else to develop them and fight SCO in more detail and with more specificity. I think many of the new ideas here are so spread out amongst many other people that it would be difficult to give credit anyway.
So, I officially give people permission to use my ideas to fight SCO. If you find my contribution central and want to give me credit, hey great. I'm not going to complain if you don't--unless you go around questioning what I've done for the cause.
