I saw an answer by Bikikii (or is it Senshi or Panta?) in remops list.
But nothing too formal, and no website.
Actually, it was largely ignored by the Reliable remops.

Would you list your "half a dozen reasons why the paper is utter
nonsense and doesn't hold any water"?

I would like to ask, HOW can you possibly be so positive that
Frog Admin is posting AT ALL?!

IF Frog is in fact posting again, how can you even begin to
prove that he is answering his own posts.

In the world of anonymous email and mail2news, I fail to see how
you could have any hope at all of being right about any such
accusations.

What enemies?  The man retired, and is now gone from a.p.a-s
(unless you can find some recent pgp signed posts of his)

Interesting, you make a lot of statements that, were he
interested in doing so, Frog could easily slap you with legal
action for several charges including harrassment and
cyberstalking.

I guess it's a good thing you're hiding behind a semi-anonymous
identity yourself isn't it?

So there is no way that Len wrote this paper on his own. Claudia Dī?az
and Evelyne Dewitte co-wrote it and it seems to be based on solid
science (like Poisson distribution, I remember them from my own academic
studies!).

You also seem to forget that before Panta released his mods, ESub,
Remix-To, Randhop and other directives didn't get the proper
cryptographic random seeding. That might have put users of Reliable at
risk for many years!

People (with the proper accademic background) can check the paper here:
