I have only recently started reading this thread and needless to say I did not work through the entire thing as there is too much. What I am about to say might have been mentioned before ,apologies if it has.

my personal response to the Parham would be 3...Nh6 and 4...g6 .

Don't think Nf6 is such a great move.

g6 would lose to Qxe5+, and Nh6 just looks bad.

Unless your goal is to lose.... :)

Actually Qxe5+ would hang the queen, nice one.

Since this thread has over 1300 comments, and the best defence found was joey's, which still isn't very good, I decided to establish official Parham theory in this thread:
