Heh.  Actually, I purposely chose adopted, because I didn't really "adapt" or change anything significant, and I didn't really want to say "stolen" from Aquarius.

So, I was using the definition:  

a·dopt vt

3. to take over something such as an idea that originated elsewhere and use it as your own

It happens to all of us, Bill.  Its one reason we have editors!:)  I saw one that used 'adopted' instead of 'adapted', I think at the top.  That's the only one I remember off the top of my head.  And the only reason I remember it is because you COULD use the word adopted there, so I had to process it logically in my mind.
