Actually Craig Burrows cites that exact example, so he does give credit where create is due and isn't tryin to usurp the idea.
Anyway, I'm not voting for him, so I don't know why I insist on defending him here. I guess I don't care if the idea is his own or he found it on a trip, I would like it regardless.
