I guess we'll find out...

Nope to the Dutch.  As far as damages, I'll let my attorney make that call.  I
just intend to _stop_ this nonsense, once and for all...

Don't want to scare _anyone_ but Vincent.  He's had multiple chances to post
citations for things I supposedly published, multiple chances to quote exact
text where he said I had claimed something I had not.  And not once has he
_ever_ corrected a wrong statement (AKA lie) that he has written, even though he
has been given several chances.

I doubt it will be amusing, but I'm pretty sure we will see as I have absolutely
no doubt that you will _ever_ see the data in my dissertation mentioned by him.
He'll run and hide again...

He will probably find other angles to criticize.  IE after all the crap about
the 1.7 and 3.1 being wrong, and the huge body of evidence from myself and
others showing that it is pretty close, he just changed to "the test is no good
as it is possible to write a 10% faster serial program and he be using that for
the 1cpu time.  Of course, 10% is easily wrong.  But I adjusted the numbers for
that just to see and it didn't make much difference in the overall average...
As expected.

He's simply dishonest.  Nothing more or less.  He _never_ provides any data for
what _he_ claims.  He always demands data when others make statements.

But mostly, he lies.  often.
