Hi Amine,
I'll try to explain then my reasoning.
1)Politeness. Even if he is a dumbass(or not) we should be polite.Even more if he provides
a list of useful and valid bugs(plus its fixes).I would be totally unpolite if I send this
list without mentioning from where it does come from.
2)Place. I could have contacted one by one each dev,but the silence in the channel,plus
the time needed to find and push the bugs to them,plus the risk these
"potential" fixes via PM drops in a darkhole pushed me to send it viaML or
Bugzilla. Both of these options are crawled by Google,so both seems to be bad enough(from
the dont-make-free-PR pov).But Bugzilla option is even worse:If I'd have decided for
Bugzilla then I'd have ended creating 6 or 7 small reports. Much more references in
Google ;).
So I decided to send it via ML
3)Ros-dev ML. There are 3 potential MLs to send this report. In order of followers:
Ros-general>Ros-Dev>Ros-priv
From the dont-make-free-PR pov I could have choosen Ros-priv, but I thought this fits
better in the Development ML.
In the same way I was the first saying his empathy and way of writting was bastardish, I
am the first one of thanking this list of bugs and..fixes for the benefit of Reactos
project.Vicmarcal may hate this guy,but Vicmarcal-PR-Team co-coordinator is a total
different thing. I could explain in detail about these differences but in ros-priv ;)

Hi Vic,
You know, sometimes I really don't understand your reasoning.
We decided that the guy is a bastard, and so even if we wanted to talk about his tool, we
could do so on irc or something, not doing him even more free PR work through our ML,
which will be all over google index.
Engaging in any relation with this guy is a slap to our face.
Cheers,
Amine.
