 ok, lemme rephrase my question then (are you inferring that the patent office examiners don't read mailing lists?):

I mention an idea for a new and great widget **in some public forum**

Later today I realize that my idea is truly unique and I want to spend the money (couple
thousand USD basically) to get a patent for it.  I would be denied that
patent just because I mentioned the idea publicly?  Even though it was
truely my idea, I would still be denied the patent?


If that were true, imagine the fun we could have.


...Garbage powered, clean running, inexpensive, safe, flying car....


Hoho! I have ruined patent prospects for myself and the future inventor of this device. I also want to mention an idea I have for living forever and time travel.

And healthy pizza.
