Hey, Dan, chill out, dude! He seems to have been making an honest effort to respond to technical criticisms. Sure, perhaps he should anticipate these and put more effort into making his initial articles into scholarly publications; however, by Usenet standards he isn't doing too badly.

Maybe not everybody is capable of presenting argumentation that meets your exacting standards..
