Summary: 

Hi,

The subject of open mindedness.................................................
...............................................................................
...............................................................................

On the other hand.....

Patent law says that if an engineering notebook contains timely documentation
of events leading up to discovery of patentable ideas, said notebook WILL be
acceptable evidence for the courts should another party apply for and receive
a patent prior to the original designer, and all patent rights will be turned
over to him/her.

If Mr. Newman has been diligent in his work, he should have a notebook, and
is already protected by patent law.

I would love to hear that he has indeed invented something to rock the present
technological community off their (insert something appropriate), but alas, I
too fall into that catagory with most of the others on the net - cautious.

Thanks for your attention and time,
