Hey Lee, quit acting like your favorite curse word you use on the boards.

How many variations of a Comus/AGP/Whatever thumbnail TGP do you think exist?

And text links are text links. Do you own the copyright/trademark on your text link text? I highly doubt it, and it'd be a waste of time to even attempt to pursue it in court. btw, WHAT text link text? I see no similarities contextually.

Are you now going to start claiming a patent on your recip designs???

PUUULEASE!

Get over it. Nothing you ever have thunk up is original. For every "new" thought you have ever had 100 other people already thunk it - and likely did it, whether you've seen it or not.

Wanna be brilliant and original? Invent, patent and produce the unbreakable lightbulb that never burns out, and you only license it to customers on a recurring basis with discounts for bulk/enterprise accounts of course (unless it's a gov't contract).

Otherwise, chock it up to your being an inspiration (as others have said) to their own designs. If they blatantly *copy* your work verbatim, and you can *prove* your prior work, and you feel it worthwhile to take legal action then go for it. If not, forget it and move on toward keeping your own business successful.

That's my $0.50 (I'm worth more than 2 cents now).
