An Honest Man

Ian Hamet has guts and integrity:

"IMPORTANT UPDATE! Commenter Dave Cordea [sic] is absolutely correct, this idea is original to J. Neil Schulman, and I utterly forgot it. I must have read his piece in his book Stopping Power some eight or nine years ago. Here I am basking in plagiarized glory without even knowing it. :$ As pennance, Neil may direct me to write a post on a topic of his choosing, of up to 2,000 words, if he ever comes across this. Also, you all should read his first two books. Alongside Night is a roaring good time, and The Rainbow Cadenza gives serious, sobering thought to the phrase “make love, not war”. In fact, it should be translated into Chinese and published here in China, given demographic trends these days.

"So this great, brilliant, original piece that everyone loved? Not mine. Sorry."

Thank you, Mr. Hamet, for setting the record straight on this.
