Idea: DU owners should trademark "GrovelBot"

I did a Google search and found only two hits on GrovelBot - one pointing to DU and the other to a thread at "MyRedBook" or whatever that is. You guys have coined a new word!

And sue them for infringing on it....think of the money we could make! There must be at least...oh, $15 to $20 in petty cash by now!

4. Grovel + Bot

Grovel for money
Bot is an automated program

6. Is it random?

Looks like it pops up as post #31 in every case I've checked.

8. Didn't realize that

I tend to stay away from threads that are more than 10 responses long - my brain gets full!

3. Hell, they could probably patent it

in the current, insane patent environment.

But don't get me started on that.
