P3D The workability of patents

["Steve Hughes" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to put my two cents in on this one, it's one of my sore points.
Patents are issued with a complete disregard for their workability. There is
no requirement to prove that an idea is workable or even sensible. In fact
the patent office is full of good ideas that could never be implemented.
Junk patents clog up the system and cause a lot of problems.

I've been though the process myself, "4,489,438 An Audio Response System"
and actually know quite a bit about it.

I will also apologize in advance for getting off topic.
