I'm in Australia, so I generally cop all these updates on a Saturday. I'm pretty familiar with how often these issues crop up; I remember them vividly because I'm usually hungover and wishing I wasn't working. I'd rather keep Valve bashing to a minimum so we can resolve the issues immediately by only offering useful feedback to the list, so I can go back to trying to enjoy my 'day off'.
