Awards...
...IF there were awards for the Best Post, Best Poster, Best Supporting Poster and Best Informative Post, THIS forum would truly,imo, be up for them! Obviously I have some bias, but, I have been on a few, and believe me,some posters just 'waste your time' and just 'like to see their name in bb's'.
...Now , I would truly place my votes for BJ-many good Supporters on this BB, so that would be difficult,lol(being diplomatic now). It is hardly obvious, IMHO, that BJ has some very deep background into all the technology of the 01 system, as well as a foundation for patent law and methodology of how it proceeds. I have NONE at all, and am very intrigued and amazed at the written explanation of what is and has transpired throughout this whole process. To say I have learned something would be an understatement. To say that I could apply it to future developments, probably not, way too technical for my mind, and besides, this is my 'one kick at the cat' tech play!
...tbh, BJ, I dont recall you ever writing on this bb way back when. I do recall hobbes(hey ol' timer, who were some of the other orig's?slag,mm, bkb) Believe me, you have added an enthusiasm in terms of relating to information-which a bb was originally intended- to an investment that I have held onto for so long, but, really thought was a dead issue. I, like jl1, enjoy the posts that provide 'information' that we find relevant to our needs. As in any investment, DD is important-well, that was completed in '99, still hanging in there! Metaphorically speaking, I think, the Champ is the one who comes ahead when the truth rises to the top!
...have a Happy Holidays all ONE'rs!
