I'll split the difference with you an say that what I said was ambiguous.  You put: "GUI 
Toolkit" in parentheses but I would put GNOME in those same parentheses.

"Why didn't you _JUST_ help him?"

Yes you did fix his mistake.  But why didn't you ONLY help him.  Clearly meaning why did 
you do other things besides help him.  Other things such as the "you suck" remark posted 
(IIUC) to 'kde-cvs'.

this list does not contribute to improving the product.
