I'm sort of remembering the typical mustache of that era, but nothing else about him. But I haven't opened my textbook that had that picture since 1969.
From: Chuck Stevens on 6 Mar 2006 13:29 Thanks for the compliment; I strive to avoid (not always successfully, I will admit) engaging in battles of wits with unarmed people ;-) I have no way to judge accuracy in this case, since I have no personal knowledge of the long line of warmongers to which you refer; however, it seemed to me that the assocation between the shots taken by those warmongers and the qualification of those shots as "cheap" in this thread did not originate with me ... ;-) -Chuck Stevens "Pete Dashwood" <dashwood(a)enternet.co.nz> wrote in message news:46t7ecFcmp4pU1(a)individual.net... > Hey!

I am the holder of the patent mentioned at the start of this discussion. Forgive my coming so late to this conversation. I wasn't aware of it until a few days ago. I see that the discussion has ranged far afield from Alistair's original post and my previous board and forum experience has taught me it is far better to come in with a whimper than a bang so I'll just say that anyone interested in this technology can find more information at http://www.source-recovery.com. In addition, I will be more than happy to address any questions that anyone should have about the technology or the patent itself (just bear in mind that I am a software developer and not a patent attorney).
