Sure wish this was passed on to the forum here. I'm not one to have Steam on all the time and hover around their forums. *Shrug*

So no thanks for finding and linking it for you and a side swipe at people who look at the Steam forums which I obviously did. Nice!

Yes he is right that it should be on these forums too, and I would never normally mind if he didn't say thanks, but the expression of superiority in, "I'm not one to have Steam on all the time and hover around their forums. *Shrug*" is there whether you see it or not and that did irk me.

Nevermind.

I'm sorry if you found my post dismissive. There was no conscious intent to do so, but can see your point. Apologies if taken poorly. And thanks for the link. I've been busy with the holidays and haven't had a chance to look here - or any other forums - until now.
