I agree, his dribble is sounding like someone else we have heard "offering" their opinion. While he is welcome to it, if he'd just get shit right once in a while it wouldn't be so bad.

Groklaw is hosted on Ibilio, the site software is FOSS (free of cost) and there were a slew of people willing to donate their own time and money. He is now starting to sound like SCO/McBride and I paraphrase; "It's not possible a group of non-paid individuals could have possibly, conceivably created such as site; only paid for mouthpieces could have done such a thing".

I think he has blog envy. He simply does not have the intellectual transparency.
