Not entirely sure what you mean by "He's overpromoting his site into a corner. As you know there's a certain section of people that don't take kindly to that sort of thing"

Are you referring to the owners of match.com and suchlike? If yes, whether or not he's getting free publicity for the site, he's obviously well on their radar and I'm sure they're working furiously behind the scenes to fight against such competition.
