While this is a good idea in principle, it's a bit of a pain to manually edit the raw HTML file to erase the pip counts. Unless there's some option that automatically excludes the pip counts?

On rec.games.backgammon I usually omit pip counts because it's easier to edit text files than HTML files. Also, the average skill level of the r.g.b. readership is lower than it is here, and there are more players there who could profit from being prodded into learning how to count pips. Here on BGO, though, most players can count pips and know the importance of doing so, so omitting the pip counts from the DQs mostly just wastes a couple of minutes of everyone's time. Given that the DQs come so fast and furious that many people don't seem to be able to find time to respond to them, I'd hesitate to add another layer of time commitment to them.
