Methinks he is decrying the fact that someone has patented an old idea.

In the patent world, old ideas are known as prior art" (IIRC)

At least, that's my take.

I've been wondering the same. I had to go back to make sure
that it wasn't cross-posted to news.admin.net-abuse.email, because
Hipcrime has been playing that game again.

I wonder whether he will ever post again to tell us what the
item under discussion happens to be.

Enjoy,
