Yes it is still a risk to go for it - so it is another thing to think about when taking a shot at it. Which is why I think you have to be black and white about it rather than juggling decisions about whether you should / shouldn't have a crack based on personalities and affiliations... and then by the time you decide, someone has already done it.

When I seed stuff and want the MVP - but come up short in my initial attack - I then bite the bullet and have another crack, or say f**k it and throw it out there hoping it will get nibbled first and protect the MVP for me that way (and if it doesn't, then c'est la vie).

That's the choice everyone has to make, the way I see it. Once you release that boss into the wild, it's fair game. If everyone plays to that simple rule there's then no room for errors, no such thing as stealing, and we're all happy.
