Good to know. One of my profs is fond of saying that the smartest people can't remember where they got their ideas...>

Please allow me to rephrase
"I'm sorry if it's a small consolation"
>I thought we were volunteering to help Bob not that we were competing for his favour. I wouldn't want to be in that competition.nor would I
>I thought it was just something for anyone who was willing to help out. I don't understand why Bob wants to exclude people. It's like when he had three volunteers to be deputies and after the fact he announced that he was going to select two after they trained! Seems like a pattern here! Please at least do me the favor of voting for someone else's idea not mine (a). I don't think my ideas should be invited to the party without me!
Can you crash the party? If Bob's invitation were that exclusive I doubt he would have posted it publicly. I think he wants feedback at this point. I'm sorry that I've never gotten to know you personally Zazenduckie, and so don't know if you've ever worked on a survey or research project before. Like most projects there are some phases when broad input from a variety of people is helpful and then there are other phases where more concentrated effort by a few people helps move things along faster. I hope that Dr. Bob was trying to communicate that he's ready to actually start working on something, and that the brainstorming phase is coming to an end.
I'm going to get back to working on the references in the text of my dissertation. I *do* try very hard to give people credit for their original thoughts, and I think it's a mistake for Bob not to adopt some time of reference system for this phase of brainstorming.
According to some posters, ideas should be given credit where credit is due (Zazenduckie, 3/27/07, admin; Llurpsienoodle, 3/28/07,admin)
kind of like that? (knowing of course that I left out the references from January and February when your ideas were "inadvertently?" misappropriated without due credit. this bibiliographer is sleepy.
later,
