Billwilke,

On the off chance that someone in the USPTO reads this board (which they probably are restricted from doing - I hope) comments on the amount of time they take to get lunch probably doesn't help our cause very much. I don't want to be testy but there is a slight chance that this gets back to them some how. Besides that, I believe that they probably do a very good job under trying circumstances.

This is in no way an attempt to pick a fight or to cast dispersions on your posts. I've followed your posts for a long time and respect them. I just think we should be careful especially when we're speaking about the people that hold our fate in their hands.

Cheers & GLTATLs, DW
