I seriously doubt you can. Maybe it will make you feel better, maybe you can
feel like Lego stole your idea - but I disagree 100%. I think its safe to say
that part spawned from this part:

Its easy to see how the new neck stud came from the jet pack. So before you go
and say “TLC has since knocked-off my design with a one stud version of it”
(taken directly from your site) you may want to re-think “your” idea and give
the proper credit to TLC. They did come out with that part starting in 1985 -
was “your idea” before 1985?

Too much is made of purity,

Maybe in your book, but in no way does that mean everybody thinks that.

some percentage of clone stuff has always been okay.

Again, maybe in your book, but please do not try to pass off your thoughts as
law. Many peole do not agree with you, so to say that it “has always been ok” is
incorrect..
