Humble Apology

[Sterling Gillette]

I'm going to say it again: That's not copying, man, that's Interguidoalism.

WTF, I just wasted 15 minutes going through this and it never got any better. Dammit!

It is actually reaching some philosophical nirvana...

It started as a non-story became vaguely interesting in the middle with some personal issues and dipped abruptly at the end...

This thread is a little bit like a bad date...

^^ If the purpose of starting this thread was to apologize and move on, then I guess everyone gave their input and the matter was laid to rest. Bumping it now is only trolling for reactions.

Which is the purpose of trolling...

This is stupid. It is an ill-founded conceit to believe that being a client of a tailor makes you some sort of designer whose orders are proprietary designs. At the end of the day, you are just having clothes made by professionals who may make exactly the same sorts of decisions for multiple clients, according to classical formulas that you did not invent, with cloth from selections that are openly available to others. If you've ever worked with a tailor, you'd realize it's perfectly normal for him to bring you works-in-progress for other clients and ask you if you'd like the same. This is not high art we're talking about. Bespoke clothes do not bestow individuality or identity.

If you think someone can copy your style by copying your last order, I hazard that your notion of style is pretty shallow.

Steve or Alexander?

The fact you couldn't be any of them can't be contested in any shape or form.

Respectively agree.

p.s.
As mentioned billion times before, people have different notions of the word "copying".
I've said what might comfort the heart(s) i've mistakenly shattered.
