Polite is good, obviously. Asking for help is also, of course, OK. That's
what the forum is about. The problem (I think) Andreas has is people making
wildly general requests (how do I make something like Wave, tell me the
answer) rather than trying to do it for themselves, hitting a block of some
kind, and then asking for specific help with regard to how to approach a
particular coding or design problem within GWT.

Anyone who has been here for a while recognises thinly veiled 'tell me the
answer to my homework' posts - not that I'm saying the OP was doing that,
but it *was* a _very_ general question rather than 'I get this error when I
do something, what do I do to fix it?'

You don't get much more generalised that 'Tell me how to recreate Wave'.
Asked by someone who doesn't seem to realise that the 'i' in GUI actually
stands for 'interface'.
