Peek Into European Patent Examining Cancelled

Posted by Roblimo on from the you-can't-always-get-what-you-want dept.

We were going to run European Patent Examiner John Savage's answers to 10 Slashdot questions today, but he emailed us this morning and asked us to pull them back because he was was in trouble over the interview. What he had to say was informative, non-controversial, and would not have hurt his employer's reputation at all, but we don't want John to lose his job or face disciplinary action on our account. Anyway, get ready for a slightly unusual Slashdot interview guest next week: Celeb chef and self-described "culinary cartographer" Alton Brown.

    Is this where we submit questions? Or is an editor going to setup a separate article?

    It looks like most of this thread is rants on the cancled responce.

    Good idea. I'm sure the moderators will have no trouble telling the difference between this *ahem* anonymous coward and a sufficiently clever troll. :)

    Isn't that an oxymoron?
