...is that while all the players jockey for controling positions, trying to assure they get the most water for their own crops, the dam continues to drain with no one manning the flood gate. Personally I don't care if Alliacense does the licensing. I am sentimental to the thought of Moore doing the licensing but I have no idea if he and his people can do the job. Alliacense at least has a track record. I really just want and end to the gaming and some entity to step up to the task of bring into account those who have been scoffing so long at the patents.

Time travels only one way. friends, and that is forward.

II will happily trade in my frustration and irritation for some good licenses that yield dividends for us all. As stated here before, I don't mind returning to the surface a few pennies at a time.

Sadly and unfortunately it appears, all the current cast of players seem intent on obtaining a Pyrrhic vistory for their side.

I can do nothing but hope that reason makes an appearance on the stage and takes control of this overly long Chekhovian (or would it be Shakespeareian?) tragedy
