Hi Chris, thanks for writing to express your feelings. I'm sorry you felt 
disappointed with us, and that Josh was left feeling upset.

I think Carl Worth has already done a great job of explaining the 
situation... as he noted, I did give credit to Josh for the card idea long 
ago, and I really didn't think further attribution was necessary. People 
suggest card ideas to us all the time, and many of the same ideas get 
suggested over and over again, and it really isn't practical or even 
reasonable for us to try to credit everyone who makes any sort of 
suggestion that we end up using in some way. We try to be inclusive when 
listing names in the credits for full-fledged publications, but even then 
it's just not possible to acknowledge every suggestion made by all our 
random playtesters. As Carl noted, it wouldn't make sense for us to be 
putting specific people's names on every card first thought of by someone 
other than me.

So again, please pass along to Josh that we're sorry he felt misused but 
that he's free to tell everyone he knows that he's the person who first 
thought of that card -- and that he is indeed credited with doing so on our 
website.
