B) This topic is a virus to these mailing lists. C) The supporters of the MOTD Abuse and Game Hi-jacking are just trolling this list. D) MOTD has nothing to do with the actual game. E) Valve doesn't have the in house skill to actually resolve the MOTD abuse issue. F) Any messages the server op wants people to see can be sent via in-game chat.
