Now you've totally confused me *shakes head*
Bruce is advocating waiting until the Patent has been Granted, instead of
doing something about it now, when we know the patent is going through the
system (and will likely get granted) ... a "reactive" vs "proactive"
response to the problem.
Basically, after the patent is granted, we are going to scramble to get
rid of the ARC stuff, instead of taking the time leadign up to the
granting to get rid of it so that when granted, it isn't something we have
to concern ourselves with ...
