Question: Does the Eye really see all? I think it lies;

For example: Unreal 1, while having over 10 or so COOP games in its own 
proprietary browser (master server), only displays _one_ in the 
All-Seeing Eye program. This isn't just for coop... I would say only a 
half or maybe even a third of the servers actually show up. I can 
imagine there are similar results with Unreal Tournament.

I ask this question here because I would figure Quakers and the like 
would have a particularly deep understanding of the program due to iD's 
supremely underwhelming server browser inside the game (ranging from 
Quake 3, to Doom 3, to Quake 4), or complete lackthereof (Quake 1 and 2, 
which I would guess there isn't a problem with)

Anyone know why this is happening? For some reason I just can't sit pat 
with a program that only displays certain servers for what ever reason, 
especially with older games where good servers are such a rarity.

Thanks for the help
