I said this about Neal Stephenson on Slashdot about 20 years ago, but… I don’t think it was particularly original thought at the time, my guess is you probably weren’t inspired by me :)

- scbrg 4y agoThe thought that Neal Stephenson's books often don't have great endings is perhaps not very original, but the phrase "he just declares victory and stops writing" was, at least to me, fairly unique. I was a pretty avid /. reader back then (especially if it was about Stephenson) so I think I would have noticed if it was used a lot. I'd say odds are fairly good it was you then :-)
