Mighty strong words, Vlim. I respect your vast knowledge of the history of the greatest pistol ever made, but aren't you being a little hart auf den alten Mann?

I don't know if GL ever invented anything on his own or not, but many good ideas and inventions go nowhere without good project management and smart, aggressive marketing. It's rarely the "best" product that wins out - it's usually the one with the best marketing.

What's wrong with being 'merely' a project manager? I am one, and I take credit for everything each person who works for me does, and my boss does the same to me - so what?

Right or wrong, it seems we see in history that many times it's always the one who can market the thing is the one who gets the credit. Maybe GL was no different? GL may have been a shady character but without him I doubt the Luger pistol would have been so successful.
