Editor, the Advocate:

I would like to pose a question for your readers' opinions.

Years ago, I gave General Motors an idea to see how it could be accomplished for all people. I lived in a different state, and six months later, the exact idea came onto the market, but not before they stated to me: (quote) "No such device exists," and they gave me a file number. Statute of limitations is now 20 years instead of 17 years.

Finally, after all these years, I wrote a letter and found out a different address and number. They want me to give them the file number and letter information. The device was the little black box on your key chain that unlocks your doors, blows the horn, does alarms, etc.

What would be your reader's next step, if any at all? Response waiting.

Anne Backe, Port Lavaca
