The first thought that went through my mind when I saw that somebody else was trying to do the same thing as we are doing was "kill that man". The second thought was who amongst the people we have discussed our idea with was a traitor. Next, I tried to convince myself that no one around us would have betrayed us intentionally, maybe someone had said something about our story to a friend, who has then copied us. Finally, I did some checking. Actually, the "competition" has a head start on us, by about four months. So?

So, this is becoming exciting now. I have checked into this guy's work. His idea is almost identical to ours, although developed quite independently and without knowledge of each other. He has taken steps similar to us, however details are naturally different. I can just imagine his surprise when he finds out about us. This sort of makes me feel like the Wright brothers, Edison, or Marconi, who were in fact not the ones who had first thought of airpanes, the electirc light, or radio. But... who invented the airplane, electric light bulb, and radio?

Anyway, may the best man win... as long as it's me (us).
