I have thankfully taken a break from these boards for the past couple of weeks and in the last few hours have gone over all the posts that I have missed. Sad to say, there has been virtually nothing of value in the almost 400 posts I have seen. The great majority of input, and I use that term loosely, has come from cyber geek Bill and his mindless groupies. After a while, however, it is possible to scan quickly through that dross and search for something of value.

Dauntless provided some excellent links to the FDA web site. Understandably, the cyber geeks could only respond with the same repetitive nonsense. That is obviously all they have. It was especially enjoyable watching Anaxagoras make the cyber geek squirm. Now, the cyber geek would have you believe that his average sell price is 28. Let's see, he starts shorting at 31 and shorts down to 14. The only way his average is 28 is if he didn't put his money where his mouth was while poor, unsuspecting beginners followed his strident lies. Unfortunately, at least one person believed his drivel, shorted at the bottom and now is facing a margin call. This from a novice investor inexperienced enough to believe that Bill's baseless repetitions had to be 100% true.

The difference between Bill and his groupies on the one hand, and those who have posted in support of Zonagen on the other, is that the supporters have always acknowledged the risk in their position, but the cyber geek claims absolute certainty. A lesson learned for at least one naive believer in the cyber geek.

This board has become a sewer and I will come and go on it as it suits me, leaving it to the rats. Like Claud, Dauntless, Myron, BigKNY3 and others who have tried to bring light, I have been educated as to the slime that slithers here on SI. Others may have time to play these games on a regular basis, but I don't.

To those who genuinely care only to divine the truth, be very careful who and what you believe. Constant repetition of lies is the main tool of totalitarian propaganda and some believe that the internet is their vehicle to manipulate stocks for their profit. I think the potential for surprises in the coming months and years cuts in both directions and could mean more to some than simply making or losing money. I hope that the cyber thrill is worth it.

One post from a couple of weeks ago alluded to a Feb 16th conference in Houston and speculated on a brawl between Dauntless and the cyber geek. That wouldn't be a brawl, it would be a massacre. Could you imagine the pasty skinned Bill, whose only exercise is pounding a keyboard, trying to get his flabby body in a fighting mode? ROTFLMFAO!!! I hope he's had plenty of adrenal stress conditioning to compensate for his pitiful physical state, but I doubt it.

<<A fraudulent patent is a patent that doesn't include any new
discovery or claims discovery of a previously patented point of
invention or discovery.>>

I'm a little unclear on the meaning of fraudulent in this context. Suppose I try to patent something that has already been invented, and I don't do such a good job of looking to see if someone has invented it before me. Does this mean I'm in legal trouble, or does it just mean that my patent will either be rejected or that I will likely lose litigation further down the road?

Could you please help? Thanks in advance.
