Ok, this was perhaps one of the most poorly worded things I've said in a long time (toothpaste discussions nothwithstanding). I didn't mean in any way to imply that Howard was following Andrei around like a vulture stealing his ideas and then taking the credit. I recall Howard being a strong proponent of move semantics months or more before Mojo was ever discussed in public. I simply recognized that Howard had something important to say about move semantics and smart pointers at this time (because he usually has something important to say about move semantics), and I wanted to make sure that I understood what it was. I had already spent time trying to understand Mojo, because I wanted to implement it in SmartPtr. If Mojo was already following the protocol that Howard was promoting, then that was good enough for me. However, if Howard was saying something new that I wasn't catching on to, I wanted to know what it was. So, apologies to Howard if it looked like I was calling him a copycat. That was not my intent in the least. Probably a better way to have asked my question would have been: "I plan to implement Mojo in SmartPtr. Does it follow the protocol you propose, or should I consider additional factors not yet discussed?"
