RE: [PHP] how to generate static html pages from dynamic php pages

I really do apologize for this, it's extremely shallow of me, but this patent has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever read. Seriously. I'm extremely irked now, the rest of my day is shot. Did you patent this just so everytime someone mentioned it you could say, "It IS a very cool idea, which is why I patented it 4 years ago"? Does that make you feel cool or something? Sorry for the nature of this post... Enlighten me.
