Bruce appears to think I only started Valve bashing since the STEAM_ID problem reared its ugly head.
The STEAM_ID problem is just a long line of unproffesional mistakes made by people you would think would know better.

It takes a rare sort of stupidity to continually make the same mistake over and over and again despite all experience and information to the contrary.
