Alfred, despite some of us that are utterly frustrated over issues like having our servers crashed with the player models, and now this new skull hack bug, I don't think we are intending to belittle you or Valve, since you put out our favorite games. We know that it is a group of malicious hackers that are doing this to your game, and to our servers running your game.
We are just desparate, and mainly angry at the myg0t crowd. I do think that many of us had an expectation that with Steam, you would be able to be all over any new hack or cheat that was causing such community strife, and patch it within hours...so that is a cause of disappointment. For whatever reason, I can see that Valve is not able to fix major exploits like this for days or weeks, and we need to come to terms with that failed expectation we had about Steam.
I just don't want you to lose sight of the fact that we do very much appreciate your being a part of this list, and hearing our frustrations. I go back to my image of you looking like Alfred from the Batman shows. ;-)

This is the dedicated server list, not a HL2DM one (we are accepting of all mods on this list ;-) Actually lots of people in the company subscribe to this list but only a couple of us are game enough to dabble our toes in the proverbial torrent of this list. There is also no shooting of messengers, Valve has a very flat and egalitarian structure (I am a programmer working on a large range of projects, I just also happen to participate in this list).
