I think part of the problem is that it was not too clear why you have posted it here. It seems to me that you have done some interesting thinking, done some interesting work and want to show it to people, which is great, and something that this forum has always had a lot of time for (papier mache helmet anyone?). However bringing the whole patent thing in has raised peoples hackles, as it implies that you either want to just sell stuff, or you are using the forum for free market research/ advertising, the sort of thing that pisses people off. As the thread has gone on, it's pretty clear (to me) that you are here for honest reasons, but the mood was set, and you maintained it. Also, it's important to never forget the foffa thread. Ever.
