You actually think this is "legal opinion"???!?!?!? Get real. I
merely said that I had to look into some of this stuff and talked with
some patent lawyers. Doesn't mean I understand the area - in fact I
admit that I don't!

I'd say there is more than enough disclaimer in here to not take this
particularly seriously!!

You realize of course that this comment (indicating that _everything_
I said is wrong) implies that you believe that this stuff is _NOT_
really opaque to me. And thus, by your measure, I should be taken
seriously on the subject after all!
Criminey...
