I've been following it as well. Since we can't get a peek at the paper, I'm taking a look at Remine's comments on Crow (see Remine's website) and going back to his original derivation in the Appendix of
The Biotic Message to see if what he is saying has any validity. I'm assuming he hasn't changed the actual derivation much.
Unfortunately, my time is short these days to work on it. I have noticed a curious fact, though: for somebody who complains about confusion, Remine's choice of terms in his initial equation make it very difficult for somebody to keep things straight when comparing his stuff with papers written by population geneticists. For example, he uses the capital letter "S" for population size, when that letter in lower case is almost universally used today as the selection coefficient. Also, he uses "N" as the total number of generations needed for a substitution, when "N" is an almost universal term for population size. In addition, he uses capital "P" and "Q" for the number of individuals with the alleles in question, when "p" and "q" are used by population geneticists for the respective allele frequencies. If Remine's paper uses the same terms, that could make his argument, regardless of its validity, tough sledding indeed.
