I'm thrilled to see the news stories saved in the "messages" folder of the saved game, but two minor gripes....

1. No dates are included. My hope was to sort these into an HTML presentation by week or month, but without the dates that is rendered useless.

2. Team and player IDs are included along with team and player names. Although I can see the use of the IDs if you wanted to provide a link, stripping these IDs out is a bit of a chore if all I'm doing is creating a "news story page".

#1 is the critical item here... #2 we could strip out as part of the HTML assembly.
