Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, Kat, but not only is your sort of imitation known as plagarism in this neck of the woods, but the changes you have made to the Rinkworks material have made it vastly inferior to its original form.

It seems that Sam didn't click on your link, so you might be able to get rid of the ideas you "borrowed" and he'll probably let it slide.

If you don't Sam will do something about it.
