Thom said "I blessed King Neptune for giving me the idea." And he said "My solution. Yours to take or leave."
It sounded to me like he was taking credit for inventing it. What did you think?

I don't have a *point*. I was just saying what he's talking about is nothing new. He acts like it's something new.
That's all. Should I treat him like some feeble old codger like most of you here do? Or should I treat him like the
rest of you? Which is more fair? Which is showing him greater respect?


Cheers,
