It was on Usenet in one of the astronomy newsgroups. It's technically an ongoing debate, although he ducks out for sometimes several months at a time, then tries to start over again forgetting where we left off. I'm told by some that "Nathan Jones" is one of the many names under which the notorious Daniel Joseph Min posts, but I'm disinclined to believe that.

Jones did try to change his document to account for some of the things I had said, but he's no more technically adept than any other conspiracy theorist. His tactic of debunking some of the more common, sillier charges such as flags waving, and of hedging on some of the others like dust plumes from the LRV wheels, is probably more a rhetorical tactic to prevent his being summarily dismissed. When you challenge him, he becomes decidedly unreasonable.
