I actually _am_ a fairly regular reader, and hey, being opinionated and a bit over the top is what makes the site worthwhile. It's obviously what motivates the people.

And then, occasionally, when they bite you, hey, that's the price of having a high profile. I worry more about sometimes not listening to critics than I do about the critics themselves.

Thick skin is the name of the game. I'd not get any work done otherwise.

On that note - I've been avoiding doing the merge-tree thing, in the hope that somebody else does what I've described. I really do suck at scripting things, yet this is clearly something where using C to do a lot of the stuff is pointless.

Almost all the parts do seem to be there, ie Daniel did the "common parent" part, and the rest really does seem to be more about scripting than writing more C plumbing stuff..
