I know it's not likely to make a huge amount of difference, but I'm going
to email this BitKeeper crackhead and give him a piece of my mind. I'd
suggest everyone else do the same.

It won't make the slightest difference. Larry's not just immune to public approbium, it just makes him more convinced he's right. He'll just end up telling you that SCM is simply too hard for mere humans to understand, and that he's preventing O'Sullivan from working on a BK alternative for the sake of Bryan's own sanity.

That would be equal to admitting that he is insane - which he sure won't do.

Oh no. It's only non-BM employees who aren't bright enough to solve the difficult problem of SCM.
