I understand that. I have seen great repositories of information dry up because of this. Folks got tired of infighting and brought the servers down. I do realize that responding to this adds to the problem.
Thanks for the advice on top posting, I will follow it from now on. Yes I have a need for offline. I frequently visit spots without access to internet or even cell reception (Farm Country) I am actually all set with the version of the file in the installed version of python.

Sometimes with good cause... sometimes without. Personally, I respect someone for being willing to ask for help, rather than thinking "I'm such an amazing person, I shouldn't need help". None of us is perfect, all of us are learning. Though if you want to win favour with the Python community, there are a few easy things you can do. One is to avoid top-posting: take the quoted text from the message you're replying to, trim it down to just the parts you need, and then put your responses underneath. Top-posting (leaving all the quoted text underneath, and then putting your response above) tends to be frowned upon in most tech newsgroups/mailing lists. Regarding your original query - the .CHM file is a downloadable version of the same documentation that can be viewed on the web. Do you have a particular need for offline viewing? If not, I would definitely recommend using the web version; that way, if it gets updated (eg to clarify some wording or improve an example), you'll get the update.
