I am seeing similar posts here. When i start liking one post, I will see another similar post, It it true that some people here or coping the popular idea and posting them? Or by chance, two or more people are getting the same idea? But getting same idea at the same time may be very less likely. What happens to our likes, comments if one of the post is deleted by mylot team?

I was inspired by a post earlier tonight, and it gave me the idea to write a post on a similar topic. No copying was done. As for what happens if the site deletes it, the likes and comments are lost.

So, at least little modification of the idea will be good.

@jayaramas It was a lot more than a modification of the idea.

They were playing safe, they were afraid of going out of the box because many out of the box discussions flops even if they were good.

@jayaramas - Good Professor - The truth is that ideas, both good and bad ideas, tend to float about on the "ether." Further to that, as soon as you tell me about YOUR idea it becomes MY idea. Many people believe that ideas can be protected and be "patented" and the like, but once an idea is put into the open, it belongs to anyone who is exposed to it and who brings it into their own thick skull for keeping.

Like he said. Or, they might have acquired the same idea from someone else's discussion. Perhaps their ideas were the same conclusion from the original discussion.
