Group email address. Did 37signals copy my idea?

What the hell is any of this talking about?<p>Both of you "copied" postfix's "alias_maps" feature, which is what I can only assume has been a standard feature since the beginning of mail server time. Back when I was running our mail for my company (we've since switched to Google Apps), I had several entires in alias_maps that were like:<p>"managers@example.com" | "ryan@example.com,aaron@example.com,alyson@example.com,macy@example.com"<p>etc.<p>(Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this, but from your website it sounds like you're just describing a mailing list)

&#62; Did 37signals copy my idea?<p>No. Distribution lists have been basic features of MTA's (postfix, qmail, exchange) for decades.<p>link bait. Does 37Signals even know Tgethr exists?

Reminds me of when DropBox "copied" my idea of automatically uploading every picture you took from your phone. Mine was a web-app with mobile component. The idea was to make it so easy you would never have to think about it. I even had plans that it would create albums for you based upon dates or locations. I was in the middle of writing the application when DropBox released their upload every picture you take service, shortly followed by many others.
