"Patent Troll? I can live with that. "
Well SGE, normally I totally agree with you, but on this one, I don't. Which is OK, I still like you even though you are wrong (-:. JK.
I hear everything you are saying, but no, I can't except the term Patent Troll, and I am surprised that you can. There is a big difference between being perceived as the inventor of a product and not being able to gain from ones efforts, as compared to the guy who bought some patents and is fleecing another company. If you don't believe me, I sugest you talk with a patent attorney or two and ask them who would be rewarded more in a court of law, the inventor or the patent troll?
As far as JT looking smart or stupid, IMO, JT has always looked stupid...why change now?
Good luck to you, me, us, and all longs.
