Yes indeed.....stealing your product name WOULD be a terrible thing.
However,
I don't think Brian has done anything of the kind. He has merely done you a
real
service in getting that all important web page started for you. I saw
nothing in his
post that would lead me to believe that he had intended to do anything but
relieve you of a huge html coding project.

Plagiarism is a VERY bad thing. For example, I was just reading a message
board thingy at 3drealms the other day (actually, the one you yourself
pointed us
at - thanks!) and there was this bloke there that was using YOUR name
("Mike the Spike" that is) AND your other name, "Dr Cage".
He was saying things like.....
"It is a language wich I am currently co-developing with Robert Craig and
his wife, the originators of the language."
"there are many U4IA "compilers" based on GCC, hell, I even wrote 3 and plan
to sell them."
"RDS's U4IA should beat C/C++/ASM, right? Then download the interpretter and
port the code, I did most of it, now find the glitches I wrote and fix them,
I haven't gotten to that yet since this isn't on my priority list."
He was also having another discussion with "Veldrik" that went something
like this.....
Veldrik :-
"Euphoria got me hooked in the way that it can access the Win95 GUI, and so
simply."
to which Dr. Cage replied ....
"Yes, Win32lib.ew eh?
I wrote the Pixmap routines, the bitBlit functions and the geometry drawing
stuff
Look out for Lama.ew, its Euphoria's MFC."
The gentleman who wrote those is clearly an imposter because the "Mike the
Spike"
(trade mark reg) that we know would NEVER claim co-authorship of someone
elses
work would he? That would be very BAD.
Oh, and there's this cartoon strip thing that uses a character called "Mike
the Spike".
Maybe you should go kick them in the face fullspeed personally.

If I may be so bold to ask somebody to kick the first guy (not Mark Brown).
Quite frankly, this bores me.
