Thank you! I'm already somewhat familiar with this editor (who appears
reasonably reliable when NOT editing relativity articles) and added my
delete vote.

I find it interesting that the majority of crackpots are crackpots in
only a limited range of topics. They can be quite competent in other
areas. Examples abound, even among Nobelists: Montagnier, Mullis,
Shockley, Pauling etc. come quickly to mind.
