On my voice mail, from yesterday, was a phone call from an "interested outside observer" who declined to otherwise identify himself. He launched into an informal harangue on those of us who are "stealing" millions of dollars in intellectual property through our work with RDF, adding that we should look closely at the patents we've been discussing of late, as well as the august stature of the law firm of Merchant & Gould. Oh, I cannot omit that he warned us to "think hard about XML". It has been a long time since the word "bathetic" sprang to my mind spontaneously. Anyway, I should note that I highly doubt that this murky correspondent (or crank caller, if you prefer) has anything to do with the various players involved in this patent matter: respectable folks who think they may have a legal cause generally do not make junior varsity pranks out of those causes. But I thought someone else might like a weekend laugh as well. Back to work, then. -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@fourthought.com +1 303 583 9900 x 101 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Boulder, CO 80301-2537, USA XML strategy, XML tools (http://4Suite.org), knowledge management
