You have to think that the patent office will get some letters from competitors challenging that.

I think I'm going to try to patent the method of posting internet content by means a topic themed public internet website accessible by a common internet browser client on a computer or mobile device whereby a user can publicly post textual questions and comments, post reply to others' questions and comments, search previously posted questions and comments, be notified of changes to questions and comments they are interested in, and view said questions and comments in a serial and/or linear sequence based on FIFO organization. I know something vaguely similar may be been done before, but has that implementation actually been formally patented yet? I just want to patent the method. ;)

The sad thing is - I give the above text a 65% chance of being approved by the USPTO
