Hi Lynn,

I was horrified when I saw the beginning of your post. I was trying for "humorous attribution" and genuine thanks, not accusation. I'm sorry that it came off poorly. Thank you for your post script.

I agree with your position on plagarism. Wherever possible, I prefer attribution and use with permission--or at least a smartass warning as below. When I started writing Clark's confession your "I'm Superman" post was exactly what was needed.

I hope you enjoy the story when you have a chance to read it in full.
