I'm unaware of any discussion online, but since I make no searches for such things and read 2+2 only sporadically, I am probably well-wrong.
It was just a bit of short-hand for a low buy-in followed by a push pre-flop strategy. The low buy-in serves both to protect you and to encourage the larger stacks to call because it is rarely more than 20% of their total stack size.
This would be hopeless against any competent player cognizant of what you were doing, but it's a pleasant intellectual experiment.
Actually, I adapted it fairly quickly, throwing in a limp on the button holding 88 because I knew that SB and BB hardly ever raised pre-flop. Missed the eight on flop, turn and river, but still won the pot :-)
