Hi Mike,

"For example, Baskerville, which looks like Publisher (http://cl.ly/Xaxr), even has some of the same demo content and post titles. I would also agree that Hoffman and Fukasawa have notable similarities between Pocket and Designer."

I did borrow demo content from your themes, and I admitted to as much earlier. Pretty much all of my themes have a demo post called "Drink more coffee, developers" (usually the first/the sticky post), going back to Lingonberry and Lasseter which I released late last summer. When I create a new theme, I usually export the demo content from the previous demo site and import it to the new one, so that post is included in Baskerville (and Rams, Garfunkel, Wilson, Hemingway, etc).

As for the themes themselves, however, there's no way for me to prove a negative. The only thing I can do to disagree with the similarities you point to, and maintain that I didn't steal your themes – words you don't use, but certainly imply.
