Making something like this public won't get it fixed earlier. You only need
to make stuff like this public if Valve refuses to help and fix it (so you
could add a little pressure), but this has never happened until now
(compliments Valve ;)). Since Alfred and others of Valve are active in this
list and reachable through mail, it doesn't need to be public. It will only
result in more abuse.

Greetings
I disagree, exploits need to be made public, to be fixed.

Hi Ronny,
you should send exploit reports directly to Valve employees. Whilst the
people on this mailing list are mostly relatively peaceful beings
without intentions to abuse this, you can never be too paranoid.
Alfred Reynolds ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is the Valve guy who tends to
pipe in on this list most often; you may want to send future warnings
directly to him.
Criticism of the openness aside, thanks for warning us about possible
"weird disconnects" of the players on our servers. Let's hope Valve
fixes this before it spreads like wildfire.

Hello,
there is a horrible Steam related bug: if you send a text message to a
player through Steam that reach the maximum text message length, the
connected player will be disconnected from the game server immediatly.
