Hi Mauirixxx, I don't want to start an argument, so I hope this will be the last you hear of this from me, but I receive enough email from this mailing list as is, I would rather it be kept to actually important email instead of something that can be answered outside the mailing list. The way it was phrased it could have gone either way in that they could legitimately not know the meaning of the word, and I hope you appreciate that many other people get plenty of email too that they have to wade through to get actually useful information.
This person isn't the first person in this mailing list to ask a question that can be answered elsewhere. And really, mandatory? What could that possibly mean, I don't know, maybe required to function? Come on people. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Payton <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 12:45 pm Subject: Re: [hlds] Mandatory TF2 update coming soon To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list <[email protected]> > Tristan, you ever stop to think that maybe the guy was looking > for the "Valve" definition of mandatory, like what was posted > below?
