I called and asked nicely.  I think they are going to knock it off.

In the meantime, the page is really in need of a major major cleanup.
It is highly POV in the sense that oss.net (the organization which put
out the press release) is made the centerpiece of an article which is on
a topic which, as far as I know, is a legitimate one.

But, oss.net is legitimate, Robert David Steele is legitimate, and this
is all just a misunderstanding of how to properly get people involved in
Wikipedia.
