Ah, thank you for stepping forward, it's always good to know who you are 
talking to.

May I then ask you why I shouldn't think someone is a troll when he/she 
changes a list to this: (?)

Wikis are about about collaboration, people violating that are most of the 
time just kids who think it's fun to break websites. I had no other info than 
that. You could have put up a little comment that you think the content was 
out of place or something, and then when others agreed it would be moved or 
deleted. Even just moving stuff right away is okay most of the time, as long 
as it is still accessible in a reasonable way.

And sorry, your later comments didn't really convince me of non-trolling. It 
was just bashing the ideas of others. You were not telling any reason for 
your behaviour, in spite that of me asking for that.

You could have just done that yourselfm, why didn't you create a page like 
that and moved the stuff there? It is done now by someone else. btw, I hadn't 
the intention to create a "list of tasks reflects the goals of any of the 
people who regularly contribute code to MythTV." Nor did I put up the stuff 
you had fallen over. I'm mostly defending others.

PS: I will stop beating this dead horse. Sorry I didn't know the 'together' in 
open source ended at the individual ego.
