That sounds like a very odd explanation, if indeed that is the way that they described it. "I don't want to tell you what I do for a living because I would have to admit that I'm a burglar." It seems to me that statement like that could provide "probable cause" (or whatever the correct term is) for a patent holder to get a court order to have those guys checked out for patent violations. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
