So that went well...  He came into the chat room, dodged all our real questions, unveilved his new product, and got trashed because he wants to protect it with patents, lol.  I bet he won't do that again, lol.

Good summary. :| For the record I was not trashing him, and I am sure there was a misunderstanding/wording that caused that...

there were some good points made...  How do you patent a hole in plastic, lol.  Oh well, I am looking forward to buying his product, I like the look of it alot.  I just wish I could buy it tonight, have ants  need to re-home.

It only matters if someone wants to build one, otherwise it's a non issue

It was just a creative exaggeration. Mikey clearly enjoyed talking with everyone about this, or he wouldn't have been there for three hours.

I'm excited to buy his new hybrid nest, I hope it's released soon.  I need to buy nests now.
