ETA: Serched, here's one that predates your existence on DDF (no offense).
None taken.
Let me clarify a bit: I never thought for a second that I invented "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" I know that it is all over "teh internets". My question was, since I was first to use it here on DDF, did that inspire you to use it as well (i.e. you knew about it before, but never bothered using it here until you saw me do it), or did you use it stam (randomly, with no connection to seeing me use it)?
Likewise, I took your question the same way: you were asking if I used "@$$" specifically because I was inspired by one of your posts, or if I just happened to pull it out of the random recesses of my brain by coincidence. My answer is number 2 - I had no knowledge that you had used it before, so you were not my inspiration. I used it not because I had seen someone here (read: you) use it, but rather because I remembered it from some other random place. Sorry.
(The fact that you were using it before I got here couldn't have inspired me very much - after all, how could I be influenced by posts that were long gone from the first few pages by the time I got here?
)
And by the way, you never DID answer me in that thread...
