I think what he said is clear enough -- he wouldn't bother mentioning the type of confirmations you mention.

  Just like he wouldn't mention the font size of the paper in the original announcement. I seriously doubt that any of these confirmations did confirm more the the receipt of a paper that seems to look legit, nobody can verify 66 pages of advanced math in 10pt in one or two days.

      Posting that comment url over and over in this thread won't make your point any more or less valid than it already is. Please stop trying to spam your opinion at people that disagree with you. That comment contains no content that tells us whether 'confirmations' means 'confirmations that my proof is valid' or 'confirmations that they received my proof.' That comment is just a response that assumes the first definition, and does nothing to tell us why the second definition is invalid.
