You make it sound as if we're playing poker and need to keep our cards close to our vest. That's not the case.

First off, a group that acts together, functions more effectively if they communicate together. Any and every attempt to suppress discussion within a group can only be looked upon as a "sheep herding" attempt.

Secondly, ninety nine percent of all the ideas, plans and ploys that might be set forth in these forums are going to be anticipated by the "scumbags of the opposition" anyway. They are not going to base their arguments on our prattle here, they are professionals who had already drawn up their battle plans before the first shot was fired.

Finally, and most importantly, that one percent of thought that just might beat this had better be made in open forum. Prior art is prior art, and the only defense against it is if it doesn't surface. Once it's known, that's it! End of ball game, we can all go home.

Just for instance- I might suggest that someone go look into the stacks at their local community college for manuals that describe the way BBS's stored and served anim files back in the eighties. All that's needed is one such manual that basically covers the claims made by this patent and they've been shot out of the water!

Does my saying so in a public forum endanger our chances or enhance them?
