Durability: just how tough is the M9?

Furthermore, patent infringement considers much more than the title of the patent, or comparison of elements. What exactly the Patent Office agreed to, and how it may be applied to actual M-9 performance is what counts. However, there will be no judge/jury, because we all had our 1st amendment right to petition for redress of grievance abridged, and it was Ronald Reagan who signed the law. Of further note is the fact that any personal correspondence received from the infringing party, before infringement, may be considered evidence. Unfortunately, it is not convenient to supply you with such evidence---copy has been sent to Mr. Bill Porter. Taking one small part of '420, while neglecting all the other technical language therein, will not allow adequate comprehension. Thank you for an opportunity to speak up.

Mr. Davis has sent me an impressive amount of information on his patent. My intention is to scan and post the information here for all to review. I just haven't had the time to do it yet, but it will get done.
