I used to be a little annoyed when I'd discover that "my idea"
   was already someone else's. But one day it hit me that - it's
   *still* my original idea. Original to me. My mind followed
   through the logic and the emotions and all the considerations
   needed and the fact that THEY happened to reach the same
   conclusion as me before I did, just means they got the credit
   for it first. But as it was original for them, it's also
   original for me. [unless I can find a connection somewhere,
   where I had read/seen something of theirs before. In that case,
   I just forgot] But if i can't find a connection in my own
   experience to their thing? Then it's still all mine smile
