Rob1945: We're NOT Suckers

And anyone can see that you're the one who's trying to sucker people by feigning a SUDDEN conversion to the NO camp today causd by corpbuyer's 'reasoning' when you already stated your NO position a month ago.

Assuming you're even an IDCC shareholder, I don't know what you're trying to pull.

PS: PRINCIPAL vs. PRINCIPLE I don't know if you were engaging in subtle wordplay but somehow I doubt it. Here are the definitions of the two words:

Principal

1 : a person who has controlling authority or is in a leading position: as a : a chief or head man or woman b : the chief executive officer of an educational institution c : one who employs another to act as agent subject to the employer's general control and instruction; specifically : the person from whom an agent's authority derives d : the chief or an actual participant in a crime e : the person primarily or ultimately liable on a legal obligation f : a leading performer : STAR
2 : a matter or thing of primary importance: as a (1) : a capital sum placed at interest, due as a debt, or used as a fund (2) : the corpus of an estate, portion, devise, or bequest b : the construction that gives shape and strength to a roof and is usually one of several trusses; broadly : the most important member of a piece of framing

I believe that you used the wrong word in your post--you meant principle and wrote principal.

I doubt it was wordplay. And I doubt that someone obviously trying to mislead people knows much about principles which may be why you chose the wrong word--maybe you're all about principal and not about principle! Freudian slip??? LOL
