I only used him because there was that throwaway mention in one of your stories -- I don't need it to be Tom Swift, just someone techy. I'm still outlining the idea, at the "Step three... profit" stage where I have a beginning and a bit of an ending, and nothing in the middle. And since it was your story where he was mentioned, and you have an existing idea, as far as I'm concerned, you have priority. I can change things easily at this point and given my existing projects, it may be a while before it sees the light of day anyway. I'd rather not step on your toes and keep you from using something you had in mind when it's not critical to my idea.
