Yes I know. Jeez get with the program. If you don't run autoupdate every time your server starts, and start it just with hlds_run direct, you bypass the delays and bugs and errors in the steam content delivery system. Which is what the original poster was trying to do. The downside is you need to manage your updates differently, but its not that big a downside as its identical to what you had to do pre-steam.
Not entirely - pre-steam updates were availble as packages.
