I read one of those. The guy was arguing that PI was
a rational number. He explained that there was some
conspiracy going on so that this truth is not revealed
to the public. He spend lots of time to create fancy
drawings - probably the paper was typeset with something
like TeX - which at that time was not that widely available.

We had one like that, too, but he was far more advanced, he was
arguing against Gödel.

Yes, I was googling for the man, but forgot the exact wording that
truly defined him, until the pp spell it: "crackpot"! Louis Savain
is the name of the game. Xah should join him, but a word of advise:
Louis is far more of a true internet celebrity. :D

He knows he's a crackpot:

Here's him insulting the likes of Einstein, Godel, Feynman etc:

Here's his long winding, going-nowhere, drastically "innovative" and
ingenious new paradigm for parallel programming:

A true nutjob.
