Somehow reminds me of "let those who want patents get patents and those
who prefer copyright get copyright?  why are all those ideologues
clamoring against patents?  why not let everyone be free to have his way?"
(rhetoric from Bresse)

Reminds me of "Dr. Janice Williams", "Dr. George Meads" and some other
anonymous (probably fake) people as well as some alter egos of Mr Breese
who very loudly signed off from this forum and gave a lot of advice how
people could behave better, but never contributed anything valuable
themselves.

You may wish to try some other forums such as those listed under

        http://swpat.ffii.org/vreji/mrilu/indexen.html

Each forum is very much limited by the quality of those who contribute
relevant information to it.  Advices from anyone else, however well
intended, will contribute only noise.  It is like in companies:  only
competition helps.
