Hello all,
I've just busied myself with reading the entire thread (I know, "Melissa", that it's not very productive). I just bumped into it due to a post in a WinCE group. They're laughing their heads off too.
I just registered to make this single post,
but I could not withstand the urge to give
my view on this matter.
1)The invention
I agree with the lot of that our "Inventor" here hasn't made much of an invention.
Cutting (adhesive) plastic to pieces to serve as a screenprotector is indeed something that even kids come up with.
On the other hand, I give him a leg to stand on by means of this "tab" he has on his protectors. Although this is a logical addition, it adds something of value to the "piece of plastic". It is a "stylish" solution for removal of the protector, other than just cutting it too large.
OK, so far, he has indeed made something more useful than the plain piece of vinyl.
2)The patent
Although practical, it is impossible for me to understand that a patent would be granted for something like this. This, of course, is only partly our "Inventor"'s fault.
3)His use of the patent
I agree with another poster that our dear "Inventor" probably sleeps with it and uses it as a weapon against any "attack". His use of the patent is completely unethical. It is clear to me, and to many other people here that this man indeed is <only> in it for the money. Bad attitude. Is he really convinced that his idea is so dramatically unique? Poor guy. I'd say that that's his problem, but that's not true. Apparently he's backed by some laws that should be no more...
4)His posts
To me it is clear that this man has at least
some form of mental disorder. He's obsessed with his patent and starts getting angry at anyone who dares cut plastic to pieces, in fear that they might be stealing his "intellectual property".
As was previously noticed, he does not give clear replies to simple questions (YES or NO-questions are fairly easy) and never hits the mark.
5)His personality
The closer I got to the end of the posts, the less I believe that our "Inventor" is indeed who he claims to be. I would not be surprised if he were just someone trying to fool all of us. If not, and he indeed is who he claims to be, and he has this "Melissa" convinced to get associated with him or his work, he is a sick man and definately needs some sort of treatment.
My 2 Eurocents,

P.S. For those not having noticed it yet:
"Inventor" is used sarcastically
P.P.S Don't hit me if I made some mistakes in my English, but I don't have a dictionary at hand.
