I believe I originated that expression a couple of years ago

Showing pride of authorship are we? LOL
Now it's not impossible that someone else thought of that independently, and it was not in a copyrighted venue and it may sound petty, but I thought I'd mention it again here for the sake of re-illustrating the moral of the story.
Besides, I feel petty today. Nyah-nyah."

This one triggered me a little (not in an angry manner), 'cause the author said, "someone said," and the "someone" was me. I can lay claim to a couple of
bons mots like "concealed means concealed" and "proximity does not imply causality."
Not that somebody else couldn't have coined those phrases, but there you go. The reason I went so far as bringing it up here is because there is a party on a not-gun forum who seems to purloin my way of putting something, then stating it as if it were his her own "coinage." Might not be consciously, but he she did it again pretty blatantly recently so I was sensitized to it in OP's post. Again, not angry, just... sensitized.
Anyhow, I'll say no more if you won't either.
