John Hill:
Has anyone noticed that in recent years, especially in Internet circles, whenever anyone describes an idea on how to do something their is frequently someone else proclaiming 'Oh dont describe that on here, you should get a patent first!'
It seems very counter productive to me.

I think it's funny how everybody that hasn't got one thinks patents are the end-all-be-all. Not to mention 90% of the things people think are new and should be patented aren't even patentable to begin with.
Very few patents are valuable and if they're not protecting a million dollars in revenue, it's hardly worth the effort to get a $25K plaque for your wall....
Got a dozen of 'em myself ;) Lucky for me the company paid for them.
