Doug, why don't ya get a good patent lawyer and end your misery of trying to put Minelab underground once and for all.  It sure seems to have you obsessed beyond normal action.  I would be willing to donate some money to help you get a lawyer to see you free of the obsession.  It has to be taking a toll on your personal life, as it seems like everyday you talk about Minelab and how to discredit them.  And I bet some other members would donate also.  We are all pullin for ya Doug!

Perhaps it takes INSIGHT to CITE!  Worth thinking about, eh?

Seems that Arizona has an obsession in protecting ML from any exposure or anything that may be helpful in a legal challenge.
Save yourself the $, you don't need a lawyer Doug, as you know its all about understanding the technicalities in a patent & sharing FACTS & the date with interested others. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST!

Of course revealing such patents, also reveals the evolution of PRIOR ART & knowledge of the day. But some don't want to know, because they are disinterested (or afraid of the consequences)!!  If so, why do they bother reading & commenting if they are not interested Doug?  

Is Arizona really more interested in your health & forum success than in his own hips & knees? I doubt it!
He may be 'pulling your leg' for a razz or some candy! He has yet to contribute anything of value. WE await the day when he will.

Keeping the pot boiling!
