all 4 papers are only 26 or so pages, and I found

You talk a lot about what your method with Riccti
equations, ODE's and stuff can achieve, how this is
gonna be much better than Galois methods and etc.,
but you show no one single example of all this...
If you expect someone to believe your claims and
then to invite you to give talks and stuff, you
better write down a paper and give a tangible proof
of what you claim, otherwise I think there's a very
very remote chance anyone will ever believe you based
only in your own claims.
I looked at them as well, via the Math Forum's sci.math
web pages, which now allow attachments to be included
in posts archived there. My opinion is about the same.
I've looked at a huge amount of mathematical literature
over the past 30 years, so I think I have a reasonable
"feel" for what is ligitimate and what is crankish. While
there's going to be some grey area for me, especially
since I know next to nothing about his subject matter,
there are so many crank warning signs and so little
(none, really) indications of real math that agreeing
with you on this is a no-brainer. In fact, if I hadn't
seen the math genealogy web page for him, I wouldn't
have taken him for a college graduate (ESL status aside)
simply on the basis of the level of writing. When I think
back to the exceedingly precise and careful page-by-page
editing and proofing my advisor and I did with my Dissertation,
I can't help but wonder if this is one of those cases
where someone else wrote the Dissertation.
