I've been thinking: should we have emails about the demo vids on that thread? Basically, the purpose of the thread is so that people (especially those form other sites who want to come here to read just the info) can get info about the game and the engine, not necessarily every last bit of random PR stuff. That stuff can go in it's own thread. Just because someone from Valve wrote you doesn't mean that it's relevant to that thread.
I'm also a little worried about things like this:
First of all, I'm not sure we want to call attention to ourselves in this way: give them the sense that hl2.net is just encouraging people to send off tons of random emails to them. That's NOT a good thing, and that's certainly not what I wanted to give people the idea to do. But second of all, I'm definately worried about people pestering valve with really pointless questions just so that they can post to that thread. It's not a popularity contest, it's just to keep people informed. Getting a response doesn't mean you're special, it just means that the rest of us get to learn more about the game, which is special.
So, what can we do?
1) Should we ask the mods to delete or move posts that aren't about the game or engine? These posts may seem important to you now, but two weeks from now they're be pointless clutter, not really telling us anything about anything.
2) Can we discuss the second problem (I'm not sure we can do anything about it).

Thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and e-mail you like everybody else is as HL2.net. You getting sick of it all yet?
