No, I don't support plagiarism. And that includes yours.

You didn't coin the phrase "rosetta stone." You weren't the first
person to use it to refer to a "translation tool" or a "guide to
understanding." It's in both Webster's and OED, and OED's
earliest citation is from the 1902 edition of the Encyclopedia
Britannica. You're not even the first person I've seen use it in
reference to figuring out the names of teas from the packaging.

The only thing you get credit for is being the first person to
post to this newsgroup (July 2003) using that phrase.

But then, your use of an Ad Hominem makes your arguement logically
invalid anway.
