I am a boring 1.e4 player
I think it pays to prepare against those openings. Currently I am facing an Orangutan in a correspondence game. It is not fun...
I don't know if this overly simplistic but against those things I think that following the simple rules of controlling the center and developing fast should do the trick...

Orangutan? I'll have to look that one up.

Yes, it is quite addictive and starts with 1.b4
I myself have played that and I truly believe in the potential for White to get a good game. In fact I visit this webpage quite often:

Thanks for the link, interesting! Reminds me of a reverse Grob.

But not so fast... I believe that the critical position happens on move 29 by Black. What other things could I have done differently? How could I have implemented better the plan of leaving him with a bad bishop against a good knight? My 29...g5 is wrong but I have no idea how else to deal with this position..
