Certainly, LF takes tips: s/he can't be everywhere, so as EricH stated, send a PM to LF if you have true information. But beware: LF has a way of spotting puffery!

(I read somewhere that people can be identified by their writing style. I wonder if someone who is a prominent poster on CD has a similar style?)
The post here is certainly long enough to serve as a sample to check for word usage statistics, regional influences, thought organization, style, tone and many other characteristics that can be used to zero in on who it is, assuming whoever it is has posted enough on CD and elsewhere online to supply a similarly reasonable sample size.

Enough formalities, on to the feature presentation. Informal tone, also, notice the punctuation usage, some would have used a semicolon (or even a period) after "formalities" also, some would not have ended a fragment/non-sentence with a period.

The only 100% true Week 1 constant is technical difficulty, from both the teams and the field. Teams are rarely running at 100% effectiveness at their first event in general, and that will be a major factor this weekend. Couple that with a relative lack of superstar teams that attend week 1 events Consistent use of numerals instead of writing out numbers
Also, phrases are consistently ""ed and things that should be capitalized are consistently capitalized.

Just in: use of the first person singular, also, allusion to a group effort
