This is too ironic to not touch this subject: here, Ratimov is complaining about incorrect quotes of his "original data":
It's even more ironic that he published his original post with all the data, I guess he couldn't bear for someone else to take credit for publishing some kind of link collection.I almost spilled my coffee because of laugh while reading this. I believe Ratimov saw this post and got scared:
Someone could quote an old archived version, and post it into a new post 
Someone could repost all Ratimov's topic but start them all with this introduction: "In this article I would like to touch upon such a theme [...]".
How would that be?
I also made a post inside NotATether's thread (and I really hope that he'll use my suggestion)
According to Ratimov's own "if it doesn't break the rules then it's fine even if it's unethical" approach, it'd be perfectly fine to not have a reference at all.
We can expect anything from this Ratimov. Including to write again all his topics, for earning some more thousands of merits.
I, for one, am still waiting for someone to reinstate one of his topics and start it with "In this article I would like to touch upon such a theme [...]".
