[Patents] Re: EPO 1978: programs vs inventions

When will you ever give up Greg?
What you say is bullshit, and if you have some sense for
information processing you should understand this!

You are the most miserable case of a deceiever I know Greg!
You should give up this now, you can't win. The only reasonble
thing for you to do now would be to start working for getting
rid of the patent system. That's the only workable conclusion
of the above statement as I can see it.

What are your real goals Greg?

The simple idea of destroying the information world with something
which was created to deal with human limitations dealing with
physical processes is simple insane.

Now, when we come closer getting rid of these limitations within the
physical world, which do not exist within the information world,
you want to limit and restrict these possibilites. The only
reason you can act like this and defind this system is because you
are paid by this system. It's time for you to get another job Greg!

I don't complain about your postings. Your postings expresses your
view, which makes it possible to attack it. To post your view in
a forum like this is better from a democratic viewpoint, then just acting
through lobbying which is your main method.
