Thank you kind sir.
Of course Rush may not think that is a big deal, since I read that the American Idol finalists and winner are visiting the White House on Friday...LOL
Nah. He just uses us as show prep (as he should).
We all feed off of each other. I, for one, do not require explicit attribution for most ideas as having come from some particular "first" in this milieu. We all build on each other.
Yes, there are things that have to be attributed, like Buckhead's work on RatherGate, but you get the idea. We're all in this, together. Odds are he didn't get this directly from us (50-50). On the other hand the odds are probably 80-20 that whoever he did get the notion from is someone who participated here (including himself). We all "talk" to each other. FR is a cauldron of ideas and we burn off the dross and what comes through are the pearls of wisdom, not to mix too many metaphors.
We provide a valuable arena to test out the concepts (the memes) of what is really going on. When we get it wrong we are the first to shoot it down. When an idea survives scrutiny here it is one worth considering.
I would say that we done good this week, folks!
I would have to agree. Are we the exception to "too many cooks...?"
