If it works against cheating then I'm fine with Valve doing it. I wouldn't trust EA or Microsoft similarly because they have not earned it but Valve have. I've played against obvious cheaters (and probably lots of other times that I didn't even know about) and anything that stops them is a good thing. It's one of the main things putting me off multiplayer gaming right now, so much cheating.
So there's this huge debate about what Valve are doing by sending your browsing data to VAC servers

Totally agree. plus the way Gabe stated it, it's not sending the whole dns to VAC just doing a local compare against known bad servers and flagging them up.
As an avid online gamer, catching cheats is A ok in my book

Gabe's reply was exactly what I have come to expect from Valve. Gotta love 'em.
It's because they are straight to the point and don't sugar coat things as a PR agent would. I guess it helps they aren't really doing anything wrong in the first place
But it isn't taken further though. We can't just use increasingly exaggerated examples to get our point across.
