        They wipe achievements all the time. They also think I've gotten the vast majority of L4D2 kills with pistols that I've never used because I'm a melee junkie.
        
        My faith in the people who run Steam is really, really low. I don't know how those people can fuck up over and over and over again and not be fired for fucking up over and over and over again.
        
        People who hose databases here lose their jerbs... maybe they're just monitoring that team's performance over Valve time, rather than real time.
