Fair enough. I hate the idea that companies can patent 
single/double/mulit click stuff, I would hate
myself for trying to put a restriction of this kind on anyone... If 
anyone thinks the Legend of the Toad
is a valuable source of inspiration, I would be flattered. And if he/she 
is zillions times more succesfull
than me in doing that, even better.

Oh, and by the way, I know this sounds odd, but the Legend of the Toad 
is about many things,
but definitely not about toads.... :-)

Cheers,

Darius.
