Larry,
There's no reason whatsoever for you, Ted, and I to be seemingly opposed to one another...in fact the exact opposite is the case...darnation is trying to build an electronic bridge between French and American collectors...I would like to see him achieve his goal...if the French bridge builders even smell used oats, it won't go well for the bridge...

I have a proposal to offer you...I'll send you every patent that I have associated with Darne/Charlin (less than 50)...you crunch the French the best you can and tell us all who should be credited for what...(I suspect Santiot to be a key player, no pun intended).

In the mean time, I'll continue to ransack several European patent offices to see if any new patents have been added to the databases in the last two years.

You can get Ted to help you, it has to be better than talking about Lowell's underwear...

If you agree...everyone will win...Beag will get additional info and the stock blank...Ted will get the info he sought at the library in France...You, the readers, and I will get a crash course in sliders...and we'll all be better prepared to use to use the bridge.
