the situation being dominated by a person who keeps asking you to serve his needs is indignant and annoying.

when you refuse his request more than once, he still demands you and even does that in a coercive manner.

his demands are either obscene or frivolous

there is really no rationalization to waste time in that kind of man.

I have so many labor needs without people to serve.

why not let that kind of man to serve these labors?

there are so many ants.

Hi there - I've been working on implementing ACS style Patent citations using BibTeX/LaTeX, and I've come up against some question about implementation that I'd like y'all to take a look at, if you can. Most important among these questions is what date is implied by the ACS style guide? Application or publication? The style guide itself is ambiguous on the matter.

If you have any thoughts on this, you can take a look at the question over on codereview.sx

Oh and if you can think of a better place for me to ask people to take a look at this, please let me know :)

thanks

@TaylorScott Why not try Tex SE? Actually, the answer you received is from one user of Tex SE. As I recall, there are also some high-rep users who are in chemistry, and they are maybe familiar with the style guide.

@MassimoOrtolano - I actually aleady gave Tex.SX and Chemistry.SX chats a shout and asked them to take a look. Both David Carlisle and Marcel Kruger from the TeX chat have been exceedingly helpful, but they haven't said anything regarding the syntax of the citations themselves thusfar
