An e-mail from Robert Amsterdam thanks me for the "heads-up on the plagiarist" and says they will steer clear of him in the future.

I asked for some acknowledgement of the problem on the blog - a reply to my comment for example.

I'm surprised.  They normally don't greenlight most of the comments left on that site.  They are quite notorious for censoring comments, in fact.

Robert Amsterdam now says he'd like to post on his main page about it, and quote my comment.
