As mentioned, I am sending this again now that it's been about another 6 months since the last one of these emails. I made one or two small tweaks to the initial message, but about 99% of it is the same. #hlserveradmins has provided lots and lots of help and support to many people and is now generally filled with at least 65 people at any given time, with there generally always being someone willing to help.
