We had some discussion of this paper last year; see the thread starting
at http://www.lucifer.com/exi-lists/extropians.2Q99/2552.html.

This one we also discussed (it wasn't very original), see
http://www.lucifer.com/exi-lists/extropians/0330.html.

This one wasn't very good, it was a rather fishy mathematical argument
and I kept having the feeling that he was smuggling in his conclusions.
It reminded me of Davies' (I think) attempt in the MWI to make the theory
produce its own interpretation. Apparently this particular paper has
been refuted now.
It is interesting though to see that Greg Egan and Hans Moravec are
participating on sci.physics.research. Sounds like a lively place.
