Important milestone reached: first quack removed....

[Robert Read]

Dear Public Inventors,

I have removed the previous poster from the list and deleted their post.

Their language reeked of quackery. They are, I believe, aggressive quacks---they are fighting back using the defense of the squid---they escape in cloud of ink. They make no actual statements that are clear enough to argue against.

There is, of course, of a risk that I am wrong. But nonetheless it is my job to be a "quack filter" and to "call them like I see them", as they say in baseball. This list should be a forum---anyone cast post here. But it is my job to moderate the list. Until now, I have felt no need to moderate each message, and have accepted all applicants who did not have suspicious email addresses. This is a great day for Public Invention!

In other news, the Sloane foundation rejected our letter of inquiry, but of gave us suggestions. I will thank them for getting back to us so quickly.
