Members of this mailing list: I'm all for having fun, joking around, and the like. In fact, sometimes I tend to do this at the expense of my work ethic, which occasionally gets my superiors a bit miffed. Because of this, I've learned the hard way when playing around is and is not appropriate. One of those times is when you're vexing others.
While I don't blame you for having a bit of fun, it can be annoying to members of this mailing list who don't wish to partake in these jests. Whenever you reply, EVERY server owner on this list gets the message, and when more and more people respond, server administrators who may or may not find it amusing end up with an inbox constantly full of emails not really about server administrating. I don't want to kill your fun, but it might be nice if out of courtesy you could keep these sorts of discussions somewhere else (Among friends, on a forum, in an email not addressed to hlds@list.valvesoftware.com). That way, you can still have amusing conversations without badgering the more serious members of this list, who would rather hear only things directly pertinent to running/upkeeping servers. -- Thanks, -Nate (PS: Sent via pain train) _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
