Yes, there was a link to the newspaper article and it did sound like you were full of nonsense in court. Are you saying it never happened and the newspaper is lying? and pretty well ticked off the judge. Untrue. Yes, the article sounds like you did cause the judge great irratation. Are you saying it never happened and the newspaper is lying? After all the exchanges you have had with him, what do you expect him to do? Do you really think he is going to suddenly change his tune and acknowledge all that he has done and admit that much of what he posts is nonsense? Really? What I expect is for him to stamp his feet and whine like a small child. But whatever he does, I do not expect him to ever address the accuracy of the newspaper article. Then why not just give it a rest. Everyone arguing with him and calling him names is just as bad if not worse than the crap that he does. There seem to be about half a dozen in this group who are under his spell, unable to resist his siren call. They follow his every move like a group of small children laughing at the homeless person walking down the street. You do yourself and the rest of us as much a misjustice as you do him. -- Rick |

Yes, but he'd already been trying ti incrimnate Brian Reay by that time, which I think is how the case came about. Mike Tomlinson said he's received similar mistreatment, in each case being letters or other messages sent to their places of employment! What amazes me is that Gareth had access to that kind of detail. So there's a lot to the story that never gets told, so far as I know. It looks like a healthy sense of self-preservation did not prevail, on th eparts of maybe several people, so I have to wonder how, what went wrong, etc... |

I think what you are trying to do is to make it available to everyone, in essence to make it unpatentable. To do that you merely need to establish prior art. Pretty much. That would work for me so I'll look into your suggestion of an initial filing. After all, my only concern is that when I write code, I want it to help protect me as I get older, paying bills or whatever, without having to worry about someone with a deliberately loose and aggressive patent aimed at stifling anyone working on the area they spuriously claim for themselves. After all, my work is writing code, not writing patents so I can sit there ready to pounce on some poor sod who is anly trying to do what I'm really trying to do. I'd heard of prior art, but wasn't sure what it took to do it. 300 bucks is still a tad steep, so are there other ways where I could do more work myself to save money? I've often wondered what exactly qualifies as adequate publication, becase I think that may be a way to do it. |

The easiest way to find out about trademark is to use it and see if they complain. All they will ask (or demand) is that you stop. In fact you may not ever get a reply to your letter, but if they care about their trademark they will *have* to respond to your usage because otherwise they lose the trademark. That said, it is very seldom that a company is willing to give up a trademark on an old product. There always want to be able to revive the product in a new incarnation. They might. At one time it outsold the piano. No other electronic instrument (perhaps any 'serious' instrument except maybe guitar) has done that. I'll ask first though, because one thing I want to avoid is having some name beginning to get established, only to change it again. A shaky start like that can be damaging. I'm hoping that anyone working in detail in direct relation to one of their well-known products will be interesting enough to Yamaha to at least get a curious reply. If not, I'll either think of a new name, or put a prominent note on any web site to the effect that I can be contacted at if they need to talk to me, and that if they have any dispute, please do so rather than have lawyers do it for them, as I have already tried to open civilised contact with anyone who I think needs to know. I'll be polite about it, but I'll be clear that I do not want litigation battles. |

WHS All that I have ever sought on Usenet amateur radio is technical discussion with mature and civil personages. Unfortunately, there are rather a lot of attention-seekers with closed minds who can only ever respond in a childish manner. Sic transit gloria Mundi |

... You don't have to push him. He wants the attention and seeks out rows. You can ignore him for years are still he persists. He keeps his vendettas running for decades, as he does some of his crazy technical theories. Once again Brian, M3OSN, Old Chap, you only appear here to vent your spleen with gratuitous ad hominem personal remarks. Why do you behave like that? Why are you so bitter? What is it that makes you seem to be desperately unhappy? Why not contribute some valid technical material, although perhaps your ridiculous statements that Maxwell's Equations for static fields have no non-zero differentials might sully your standing to some extent. |

Any doctor will say the same. If this is mainly about what you want, for you, rather than from him, it may be better to say you want directly instead of negating all that is not it. I'll risk guessing that you've got some pain bigger than Gareth is causing, and that displacing it into a Gareth hunt isn't going to fix it. Even those he's directly hurt are going at him slower than you are. Maybe try giving it one good blast and letting it go entirely. There's likely no nice rational fix, other than to think that if you want the problem gone, the best shot is to unilaterally let it go and take it from there. I think it's worth posting a link to the article to show someone not familiar with Big G what his true colors are. But I think that's all that needs to be done; the article stands on its own and his attempts to discredit it only show him to be an even bigger arse. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry, AI0K ================== |
