Do you guys really have to reopen the same conversation every single week? Have I ever told you the definition of insanity? Insanity is doing the same thing over-and-over again expecting the outcome to be any different. "Maybe if I email Valve this time they'll change quickplay; Nono, maybe if I email them THIS time they'll change it" When my friend Keeg first told me about the constant bickering on the mailing list I dismissed him. "No, Valve will change it eventually" But I learned, I took notice that it won't change, and then my perspective started to turn similar to his. Every email I read, it's the same thing, Every-single-email begging Valve for a fix over-and-over-and-over. The thing is, you've already emailed them once before. Have I ever told you the definition of insanity?
