The subject header of the message says: "has patent sillyness started for HIP"? 

--> If you only search for Pekka Nikander in the patent archive you will find 
lots of patents on HIP. 
So, the answer is "yes" and a long time ago already. 

Regarding your assessment of the patent you need to know that it does not 
matter whether you think a patent is valid or not the opinion of a judge 
matters in a patent dispute.
