kyburgI am a great stealer of creative talent! I STOLE AN ICON!
Good grief. No, I didn't.
But I'm a good sport - so I took the icon down, made a minor change and put it right back up.
Now, it's MY icon that I worked five minutes on.
And for the record, here is the reply I gave:
Myyyyyy goodness. You know, I am just as certain you have spent more time complaining about an imagined slight that you did making the icon in question.
Did you make this one as well?
They were put into service the same time.
Tell you what. I'll just make one tiny change to the icon - and they won't look identical anymore. I'll know I made the change, you'll know you made the change - and when.
I think I've made a good faith effort to allay your concerns. Keep in mind I don't have any proof that you really did what you have claimed to have done - or if two icon makers came up with the same exact thing. It's not a very complicated piece of work - frankly, as far as icons go, rather simple and pedestrian.
I do know that I don't have the artwork anywhere I can check timestamps. Or bit counts. Or whatever. It's been in use a long time. At least a year.
You must really need someone to hate. Bad.
Now go away.
No, I don't intend to dignify this with any further effort.
For the record, I don't truly remember where the icon came from - it's been long enough ago. Most of my icons were given to me - or I made them myself.
I have other things to do now.
