Why are you misrepresenting what he wrote? The text that you quoted
does not state that herc is correct.

>Why is he still posting the same stuff after 10 years?

Because he's a netkook, just like the other circle squarers. You may
as well ask why she/he/it crossposts a crank article on Mathematics to
unrelated news groups, or why the Relativity deniers crosspost to
sci.math; they're kooks, and looking for rational explanations is a
mugs game.
