The "kooks" who submit abstracts to the APS meetings still exist.  Some of the
more original abstracts sometimes attract a crowd of people who are there just
to see if someone is willing to get in front of an audience and present their
ideas.  Often these abstracts can be identified by a non-university street
address in California.  My experience is that they are usually in the
theoretical physics sessions.

On a slighltly different track, I am told that the editors of Physical Review
regularly discard abstracts from street addresses in CA after superficial
examination.  So regularly in fact, that a retired emeritus professor from some
CA school had to have a collegue friend write a letter to the editors asking
them to read his submission (sent from his home) before throwing it away.
