This idea terrifies me even more than it amuses me. The notion of the long-term influence that could be gained by a network of cooperating Time-Cube-style theorists is enough to give me nightmares.

This reminds me of "The Three Christs of Ypsilanti":

    Rokeach brought together three men who each claimed to be Jesus 
    Christ and confronted them with one another's conflicting claims, 
    while encouraging them to interact personally as a support group.
    [...]
    While initially the three patients quarreled over who was holier and 
    reached the point of physical altercation, they eventually each 
    explained away the other two as being patients with a mental 
    disability in a hospital, or dead and being operated by machines.

That seems a bit... I want to say cruel, but maybe it's not? I'm sure most of these mathematical cranks have various kinds of mental illnesses. Perhaps referring them to each other is creating an ad-hoc support group, or perhaps it's just ridiculing them.

In the case or people threatening legal action against you, putting them in touch with each other may not be the wisest move.

This is basically the plot of Umberto Eco's book "Foucault's Pendulum".

Ah, I would swear something similar was mentioned in Simon Singh's Fermat's Last Theorem. ...Perhaps done by a mathematician who was a referee for the prize.

Anyone here recall?

The usenet oracle is alive and well!

This is both ingenious and hilarious. The best kind of solution, in my opinion.
