Okay, I've gotta clear something up that I think you might be refering
to (I'm not sure what "response" you're talking about, so if this makes
absolutely no sense, browse on!)

 I believe I was the one who used the word "stealing" (which is what I
consider it) in recapping the going's-on because someone asked what the
thread was about.  I was paraphrasing, and was talking about what Joan
had said...which was really, paraphrased: "Yes, that was a nice sig
wasn't it?  I believe it was made by so-in-so."  That was a mistake on
my part - as stealing does have a different connotation than what she
really said, and I apologize for that.

 I don't remember Joan saying stealing (of course I have the memory of a
cheap 8086) except to say, "*I* didn't say 'stealing'."
