I like it, too.  Just, I don't like the fact that the team member
names are displayed so much less prominently than the non-team-member
names.  It doesn't seem particularly fair, but it also doesn't make
much sense - the top poster (Bruce) isn't visible when you load the
page, unless you scroll.

This solution, like all of the other solutions so far offered, would

Yeah.  Magnus' prototype doesn't look too bad, though.  I liked
parentheses around the number of posts better than a dash before it,
but with parentheses around the team name, there's not much choice but
to do something different for the post count.  And from an information
point of view I think it's definitely a big improvement.
