That's just the tip of the Kenneth Sloan Wankery Iceberg.
For example, telling people he doesn't like to "please stop
crossposting" while ignoring crssposting by those who he likes,
and while himself crossposting to rec.games.chess.politics,
rec.games.chess.misc, alt.chess, misc.legal, and
rec.games.chess.computer.
For another example, run the webpage at http://www.cis.uab.edu/sloan/
through the validator at http://validator.w3.org/
and see what happens.
In fact, even his shortest web pages have errors. Consider this one:
http://www.cis.uab.edu/sloan/ChessGames/
Which has this source:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Selected Chess Games</title>

<h1>Selected Chess Games</h1>

Here are a few interesting chess games:

Let's see...
Closing </address> with no opening <address>.
A ****d "Last modified: 4 August 2007" comment
line with no <!-- --> comment tags around it.
<ul> </ul> pair without a <li> in the middle.
No Character Encoding.
A DOCTYPE that claims it is is written in HTML 2.0 (See
http://htmlhelp.com/design/dtd/
) but has five errors
when validated with the Doctype set to HTML 2.0 (See
http://validator.w3.org/
).
BTW, the URL it links to also has validation erros:
http://www.cis.uab.edu/sloan/ChessGames/SloanVsSloan/
And, of course, inconsistant indenting that would be marked
down as being incorrect if any of his students did it.
Pretty impressive list of errors for a mere 18 lines of markup!
(X-No-Archive: yes set to avoid leaving a permanent record of
the above in the archives.)
