Not all servers are created equally. And not all tutorials are accurate. The two "how to's" on Steam's forum for Half Life DM Source are faulty. I also challenge you to go to Google and find a "how to" for this game. The one created by 1nsane, which i did happen to find in Google, is wrong. Also posting to a listserv is a form of research; please don't forget that. And please remember this listserv was created for serveral reasons, and not to accommodate the wishes of just one person or some select group of programmers. If Valve wants this listserv to be specifically for "programmers" then they can take better steps to make it more private and exclusive.
In my opinion they should have put administrators and programmers on a separate listserv, but I ain't gonna cry about it or start ranting. As much time as it took you people to reply in your email, you simply could have hit your DELETE button. Please do that next time instead of displaying your personality problems to all of us. And if I ever see any email here from someone wanting help to set up a Steam related game that I have run, I have a prewritten setup document that I am simply going to cut and paste into my reply to them so I can help them. Be forewarned. Thank you for listening.
