Not at all!
You brought up the idea of the nose guard and a new system, I merely contributed my opinion.

In sparring I had been perfectly happy to tolerate the headgear when I had to wear it and throw it off when I could get away with it. You had the idea to think creatively and look into new ideas. So If you do wish to do something with your idea (and I genuinely feel you should) the credit is all yours Thomas.
