Really Monz, first you insist you invented a latticing
concept that had been floating around for decades as
Brian pointed out, then you tell me in a personal email
that you invented my software before I did, and now
this. So where is it? Where are your prototypes? Where
are your design documents? Where are your provisional
patents? Where are your dated and signed design
notebooks?

I am getting rather tired of this game. It is quite
insulting to all of us who really do write software.

Yes yes fine, in your mind you have retroactively
invented every piece of microtonal software that has
ever been concieved or ever will be invented in the
future. That's nice. Now go out and play.

Sheesh!

Never applied for those.

Right here on my shelf. Come take a look.
