Although I don't have time now to read that thread to completion, (I will later, promise;)

Fair warning: It degenerates into spam after about page three.

H.G. would have to travel not only to every when to know all attempts at time travel, but to every where within every when.

This is incorrect. He would only have to travel to the right spacetime positions. He could then tell his subjective-past self what those right positions are, thus eliminating the need to go "looking" for time travel attempts.

But, H.G, being a man, still ages while he exists! So while his capacity for time is limitless, his own time is not.

This is addressed in the thread. In short: if it is possible to make a man immortal, H.G. will be immortal.

And where the machine has been done, it can be redone.

Not if H.G. has anything to say about it.

Plus, when Ben Affleck did it, all he was capable of doing was keeping himself from getting shot. You'd think he would at least leave himself a note about Reindeer Games.

Taking a SF movie at face value about time travel is like taking a Wile E. Coyote short as a nature documentary.
