Do you ever get the sense that the discussions you start......

I don't know if the discussions I start give people other ideas or not, but I know that other discussions give me ideas, and it is often the best way to get ideas. If people are behave like copycats, that doesn't bother me. I just think that surely, if they keep doing it, they won't get too many responses after a while. But I don't think there is such a thing as a completely new idea - somebody somewhere has thought about it :-)

Well, Luckily, I not yet got such kind of experienct. If I did come to this kind of case, I would feel sorry for him/her. But it's Ok, when mylot finds out about the truth, they will punish him/her,I suppose. Andy

Yes, that's happened to me on some discussions. It's a bit annoying, but that's the way it is and no sense in worrying or stewing about it. Usually I do not participate in their discussion, but have once or twice. Overall it's not a big deal to me. I just let it go and go on.

Yes, I believe that people may look at other peoples discussions and steal the ideas to make up their own, slightly different, discussion. They see it as another way to make more money on mylot, so they just go for it.

Hi there. Sure, some people here get ideas off maybe one word,one word can trigger alot of different thoughts for topic, I know I have been triggered with a few thoughts for my discussions, then some get ideas off the whole discussion and Ive noticed that all they've done is changed the wording around to suit... Alot of people come up with there own unique ideas too...

Yea it happens. Sometimes I participate in all the discussions if they are worth it, but really I encounter the thread later; I think "deja vu?", dismiss it and then post.

I never thought about it. I mean out of all the people posting of course the discussions are going to overlap and but I never thought of stealing someone's discussion and posting almost the exact thing word for word. Wow.
