Prof - I had not known about that Thiel blog. I don't know who might be funding that site. Someone here may be able to look behind the curtain and see. Otherwise, the person who comes to mind is Rob Gillum as an adjunct to his Coherent Source Service undertaking.
The dates go from just after Jim's death to just before Kathy sold the company at end 2012. Those people are the real operatives saying things they would say, albeit with a few typos and some editorializing. I speculate it may have been Gary Dayton's project. Note there are nearly no responses and that the external links are broken.
Regarding the thielaudio.com site - Ted Green of Strata-gee.com looked behind that curtain a few years ago and indeed, it is some sort of fishing expedition. Note that the external links are broken and that pictures and references are not of Thiel products, but rather generic drop-ins. The odd workings of the webosphere.
