Many of us do.  The patent was granted on Valentine's Day, but RevNet 
premiered in December 2003.  Shouldn't be hard for anyone to shoot this 
down over prior art (like the silly Compton's patent and so many others).

When will the USPTO be able to afford reviewers familiar with the domain 
they're tasked to review?
