Well, you're right.  There's vanishingly little point in browbeating
people over how they choose to use a tool, and attempting to do so is
annoying.

Things like Keith Packard's Web page, OTOH, should logically not annoy, 
being merely polite reminders about common misconceptions and polite
suggestions that using distributed features might have advantages even
for small teams with generally centralise collaboration patterns.
