Eh, "copying" people really doesn't matter. I think 99.9% of our forum members here have long since checked their egos at the door, as people here offer free advice, tips, and technical information at the drop of a hat, day in and day out.
Hell, I shamelessly "copied" West's headlight setup myself; he even provided me the 3D-printed parts for mounting them. But what's funny about it is, for many months, dating back to when I first hooked up my Dominators, I wanted something better/brighter/safer/etc. I had a wide array of different headlights (and different buckets to mount them in) in my various shopping carts, for literally months. I couldn't decide which set I wanted, and the method of mounting had me indecisive because I don't yet have a 3D printer and I can't really fab metal. He ended up getting the same setup and designed a great mounting system, so hats off to West. But from the outside looking in, who "copied" who? I was planning my setup for a long time, and he implemented the same setup before I got around to it.
The bottom line is, who cares? I don't feel "copied", and I don't feel like I "copied". We're all a big happy Goblin family!
