Of course, when you are the leader of the pack in any field, there is always someone trying to tear you down. But Jack, you can take comfort in the fact that despite all of the slings and arrows, you and your theories have withstood the test of time and scrutiny. I have noticed that other other websites are incorporating your theories. They are simply, instead of giving you credit are instead calling it something else ("scap loading" and stuff like that).


Even though I sometimes disagree with Jack, overall I would have to agree that Nyman, Teacherman, Epstein and Huggens are all at least one step below Jack. Maybe if they ever put in the research jack has done over the years they will be in the same league as Jack, but as of right now Jack is in league all by himself!
