Definitions of Kibitz on the Web:
(v.) Meddle: We like to kibitz about everyone's affairs.
www.infoplease.com/spot/yiddish1.html
A comment during the game or during analysis afterward, within the
hearing of the players. Refers most often to spectators. One who
kibitzes (called a "kibitzer") during the play of the game can be, at
the request of the players or by ruling of the Tournament Director,
removed from the playing hall.

since what I wanted to emphasize was the fact that (most) everyone
jumped in to nitpick about side issues rather than to answer the
question.
