Innovation pretty much means who invented it or got there first. Doesn't matter to me. What matters to me is the benefits in those programs in which I actively participate and favor (AA, QR and SPG). Whether a program invented the benefit or copied it from someone else, I care only about what benefits the program/benefit is providing to me, not its origin.

What happened to the guy (AFAIK British) who used to run Asia Pacific? I think his name was something like Atwater.
