This is not a documentation issue, Unless your issue with the documentation is "the documentation doesn't tell me how to do something the server isn't designed to do" Other things it can't do that Valve don't make explicit: "Server can't make ice cream. Server can't help you pull girls. Server can't see your house from here" The reason there's a backlash here is because you're using "lack of documentation" as an excuse to tell valve how you think they should have done things. Some of your points I agree with. Some of them I don't. But your line of argument I think is what I take issue with. "Square peg does not come with instructions on how to fit it into round hole" doesn't impress me. "Peg should support being round, because there's a lot of round holes here" might. But the way you phrase your opinions, probably not. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
