If Kenni had not replied to the OP another MythTV developer would have.

All the MythTV developers who have posted on this thread, myself 
included, agree that this was the thing to do.

I am sure that in your hobbies or work there rules that have been 
established to make sure things are done in an orderly fashion.

What would you say if you were responsible to enforce them and somebody 
would come up and tell people to disregard you when you are trying to 
enforce them.

That's essentially what you have done here...

If this was a forum one of the moderators (devs) would have closed the 
thread but as this is a mailing list our options are pretty limited in 
this regard.

Why should people have to do that where there are a lot of other places 
where this thread could have been posted and would have been on-topic?

Why should we have to resort to this?

(And trust me I am not saying that because I don't have the means to do 
it. I could easily filter threads at home both at the MUA, MTA and 
content filter level...)

I thought that Kenni's reply was OK in this regard but then English is 
not my mother tongue and it's not Kenni's either so maybe I (and he) can 
sometimes use expressions which come out too strong.

(I am not saying he did since it seems OK to me but it looks like you 
thought his reply was uncourteous...)

Have a nice day,

Nicolas
