Thanks Alfred,
as long as it is a server discussion it's ok, but people should stop off-topic HL2 client messages, especially in a linux-server list :-)
Hope your answer will be read ...

I did not want to segment the linux users amongst two lists, especially considering that most users run both server types.
People should limit discussion on the HL2 client and Steam client however unless it is directly related to the Linux dedicated server. If you want to talk about the client please use the Steam forums at www.steampowered.com.

Is it possible to make an other mailinglist for this problems ? I don't like to get messages about HL2 in hlds_linux list.
Thanks
