I suppose we could always send the disgruntled user off to 
comp.lang.perl for a good roasting.

The python lists are generally pretty well behaved and polite. A sly dig 
here and there is all I can usually manage or get. The recent kerfuffle 
over top posting seems quite bizarre to me. Any sign of weakness on 
comp.lang.javascript gets a snobby read the faq etc etc. I theorize that 
having a completely ill specified and pretty hopeless development target 
makes javascripters angry all the time.

As for anygui, I guess it hasn't been a success, but of the n 000 open 
source projects how many are? Certainly trying to do an abstract gui 
framework is much harder than a specific one. Then add on all the back 
ends. Probably most pythoneers are too nice to be good project leaders. 
I don't begrudge any of the effort nor would I in future. Keep trying :)
