Actually, I have seen a lot of moaning about the huge digests that
appear here for a few games.  I also know that having read them from time
to time, they tell nothing about the game, the mechanics, the costs, or
anything else except the player interaction.  Not the best way to
publicize.
  By the way, I am opposed to "Crass advertisements that give no real
information about the game" as well.  I have never advocated opening this
newsgroup up to hype.  I don't think anyone else involved in this
discussion is advocating that either.
