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.  You
should be able to suggest that he tone down his sales pitches and beef up
his analysis without being insulting.  Maybe not everybody is capable of
presenting argumentation that meets your exacting standards..
