Never said it was.  In fact, I gave the link to the official forums for 
the xbmcmythtv python script for support, as well as mentioned that it 
has a sourceforge site.  Those places arent enough to help users? 
Fragmentation is needed?  Dont go to the people who work on the script 
and you know can get help with it, no you want people to go to a 3rd 
part where no one has the knowledge (or at least proven they have the 
knowledge) to support a script they didnt write?  How is that a 
refinement?  How is that users helping users?  Its more confusing to 
have multiple sources of info, especially when the author of the script 
isnt involved.

Really?  A need that cant be met by the sourceforge site AND 2 seperate 
python script forums, one for devs and one for support?
