WAKE THE HELL UP! Some of these Internut stocks that doubled in 1999 have been cut 80%, like Yahoo! Start buying shit, nearly anything you think of. IMO.

Benny, You make it almost sound like a broad patent is a bad thing when that is definitely not the case. When you apply for a patent, you want it as broad as you can possibly make it, while avoiding the prior art, which in this case was non-existent. There is one other thing you are overlooking, the 5 1/2 year prosecution history in the USPTO. The more the examiner raises objections and you successfully argue and overcome those objections, the stronger the patent. jjbucci
