ok, hows this:

*imo*, this patent should never have been issued.

*imo*, this patent, if it stands, will hurt everyone, open or closed source, with the solitary exception of the one guy who is eolas, who will buy an island and retire to it (nothing wrong with that, if he had actually invented something, which, *imo* , he did not).

fortunately, *imo*, the patent office will *probably* overturn the original issuance of the patent.

*imo*, it is sad we even have to start talking about prior art and such, because the patent issued was for a general idea and nothing specific.

*imo*, i should be issued a patent on the for..next loop and the if..then statement.

*imo*, that island should be mine.

cheers!
