Thank you for this response. This allows me to clarify the issues. I wrote and released free and open source software, and I made a big attempt to discuss the ideas and get feedback. No one is willing to use the software, discuss the ideas, and give feedback. I wondered why this was, and I tried searching for info about someone who I knew WOULD have ideas and feedback - EricVH. I wanted to write to him and see if he at least understood what I was up to. I found the Multi-pipe patent. I think I CANNOT GET FEEDBACK because all the people who would/could give me feedback won't do it because they would rather put the ideas in ANTS into patentable form, so they won't talk about it here. That is why I'm so angry. Ben Kidwell "mycroftiv"
