You ALL want to know, don't you... (previously refrigerants)

[Danny Barrett]

Things might be a bit different in Oz to US... If we disclose the nature of
our inventions to *anyone,* then the patent can not be granted, unless the
person(s) to whom it is disclosed make a written affirmation of secrecy
about the device, and even then, if the patent office feels that they didn't
need to know for some reason, the patent will not be granted... Tough, Heh!!!
