"AIDS Treatment News" (a few "sites"??)

I've tried to clear away some of the clutter.  "John Burgin" ridiculed
the terrm "enhancing antibodies" as unheard of, claimed it could not be
found in a Medline search.  Bosch easily found it (400 or so articles
used it in title or abstract, and about 10% of these did so in the
context of AIDS).

Whereupon "John Burgin" challenges him ("big boy") to show him some
"sites".  Is it just a matter of mis-spelling, or is he really so naive
as to think one goes to Medline to find websites?  If he means "cites"
(as a vulgar abbreviation for "citations"), why doesn't he ask how to
do the Medline search properly and read a few of the articles cited?
