Sorry, but whether this is true or not I don't think you're describing
a problem that's specific to team games. I was thinking more of the

Hey, I've been ignoring the rules of journalism for years, and ain't
gonna stop now.

Incidentally - I'm not trying to get at you, just interested - do you
advise people who post up their new games on pbm-list about how they
describe their games, and/or suggest that they correct their spelling?
