Why not? If someone likes a game, and wants to share that, it may inspire
someone else to look at the game. In this case, it inspired me to take
a look at the TV web site and decide not to play (game looks interesting,
but no time). However I'll agree with you [Greg] that evangelical posts
probably aren't appropriate. I didn't think the TV posts were, but opinions
vary.
