Yes. I was pretty disapointed when Valve made this change. I made posts on SPUF about it being a Pretty Bad Idea, and a Steam Support ticket. After explaining twice I didn't need direct support on my account, "We will investigate this matter and take appropriate action. Please note that you will not receive a notification about any action taken as a result of this report". I guess the number of support tickets they get from people who used a disposable email address to create their Steam account is more important than the security of others with reputable email addresses. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
