"renders LI as worthless" is an absolutely incorrect "spin" on your part (even if you couched it in "basically"). I have done no such thing. I have only raised questions, one's I deem as good questions, worthy of asking & deserving of decent answers. Ea place I go to, w/my questions, is always supported w/a reasonable platform or basis, to validate it. If you think that vplm, as a whole, or its individual parts, is unassailable & beyond reproach, that's your right. I know one thing, all this silliness about how the big dogs have just barely begun to have the time to have considered the vplm patent suite, as a purchase point, is just ridiculous & I now damn well if I owned something that promised to change the world of communications, on a level such as we have been led to believe, and I had it for sale, it woulda been long gone by now, or "the necessary legal help" would've stepped in, to fill that vacuum, to see to it that licencing was already being collected. This, by the way, is even more poignant, when you consider the fact, that for a long time now, no one seems to really give a rats petutty about the patents. End of story.
