You may cite this message only if you do not disclose who wrote it. 

Pro tem., I broadly agree with Paul and Allinn on this, but I think Allin
must have been nodding when he wrote the following:

Surely the whole point about the patent system is that one has to *reveal*
one's discovery, in exchange for having time-limited property rights in the
information conferred on one?
