So you folks have been called to look at something. Ugh. I guess it could
have been worse...

To answer A. : No. Not in 90+% of the country (by surface area).

To answer B. : Certainly. There is always a need for constructive guidance
and instruction. Being blessed and published by the league will give it
credibility to many and make a target of discussion for the rest that care.
In either case, the concerns get advertised and the "right thing to do" gets
highlighted to many that may not have realized there was a problem.

Good Luck!
