Just a few quick reply cause I really don’t want to get in to a flame war with a moron like you Eric I have watched your posts over the years and you just are not worth the effort.

Wow, that made no sense at all. I clicked reply and top-posted. That's pretty simple stuff. The only assumption I made was that you were more intelligent than you clearly are. For this, I apologize. About as much sense as your first post. cross quoting etc. > Someone said valve need "personal time" and this was their reason for valve > not releasing a patch for the server, the "down the beach" comment could > have been "at home with wife" "down the pub" or "watching footy" Right, so, did you completely and utterly miss the point of my questioning that implication that Valve employees are just lazy, corporate pigs who don't give two shits about you, much less their product? Why would you bother to expound something that needs no clarification whatsoever, even a little bit? NO I DID NOT but I guess you did mine as and the explanation did not seem to clear things up for you so I will try to make it simple for you... I was trying to point out that if Valve are allowed "personal time" why should others have to sit in all weekend fixing servers because of a bug in their product that could be fixed, released and installed in hours using this wonderful Steam system they gave us. It was not some attack on corporate america If that is still over your head I will get my 2yo nephew to explain it you in word you may understand. > because of very simple bugs that could have been picked up in a real beta > test or could be fixed very quickly yet still seems to take valve 3 working > days to fix. I know, right? I mean, I for one am shocked and disappointed that Valve didn't release a completely perfect complex software product right out the door. That it could take 3 working days to fix is utterly abhorrent. I guess you are not one of us that have to sit here all weekend restarting servers because no one put flood protection in or mygot found another bug on a Friday afternoon and told the world about it. In reality, of course, you're the kind of trollish tool that software companies, businessmen, and intelligent people in general hate. As I work for a prominent software company, I'm pretty much right there in the bullseye on these kinds of things. If you've actually had experience with such things, you'd understand why 3 working days to fix a bug that automatically rolls out to the entire install base is pretty damn impressive. I hope you are not including yourself in those listed above and are the people you are talking about called... humm let me think CUSTOMERS ! > You then go on to make further quotes from the reply of witch I was not the > author, perhaps you should move to a threaded mail client so you can > actually work out who said what and who replied to what before you have to > post using profanity to get your point across. Holy fuck. I'm trying to figure out whether you, someone who uses "X-Mailer: Microsoft Office Outlook, Build 11.0.6353", are pulling my leg or whether you're trolling out of sheer ignorance. I'm not sure either is forgivable. I use Thunderbird, and I have all hlds_linux emails dropped into a specific subfolder underneath my Inbox, and the emails are listed in threaded view. What's *spectacularly* awesome is that it has no bearing whatsofuckingever on this inane, irrelevant, phantom problem you have invented. Strictly because I'm hoping against hope that your arrogance stems from ignorance rather than from concentrated asshattery, I will remind you that I simply replied to an email and top-posted, eliminating ANY concern about chopped up edits. OH NO I USE OUTLOOK shot me... Do us all a favor use your super intelligence and hit the unsubscribe button, then go and play on a freeway. Here, because I'm such a nice guy, I'm including the entire block of quoted text from MY email so you can get the gist of it this time around. Once you get it, ponder how it makes no fucking difference either way. If you still have problems understanding, don't bother to request further clarification. Instead, end yourself.
