Ok, regarding the Dikoted CyberCarp {tm}.

Let's take a look at this.

DIKOTE: this is a FASA thing, first seen in ShadowTech sometime last year

The 'Thwapping' Wet Carp: Hmm, I was the one that first proposed this
back in October of last year I think after a nasty mail hiccup that sent
two or three copies of like 10 postings to everyone subscribed (remember
that?).

So the question is: You used two things designed by someone else and
combined them. Did you "violate" anyone's copyrights? Could you be sued
for billions of dollars?

Does anyone really care? :-)

What does this have to do with anything? Not a damn thing.
