Your Right Mike and I apologize for blowing up. It is my own fault for reading a list mailing when I was busy even though I knew it had about 99.9% chance of containing nothing of importance. It was not that particular post that set me off. It is the endless cumulation of absolute garbage day in and day out. Not long ago, if you got two list mailings in one day there was no doubt something that needed attention. Today the far more frequent mailings are full of questions that are already answered in the readme file, questions that have been answered twice a week for a year and questions that have nothing to do with running a gameserver. The point is that thinking people go find their answers and lazy people just throw it out to a list instead. A person has to intuitively know there is a command for searching files in Linux so why not Google for it and get an immediate answer? Because they are lazy. Not much better is the deluge of "Valve sucks because..." every single week after the inevitable screwed up update. We all know their idea of beta testing is a public steam release, what's new about that? If you update immediately after a release you should expect this stuff by now and if you think it is ever going to change you are naive. The posts identifying the problems are important, the dozen or two after that just bashing Valve for the obvious are not. Rick -- --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
