Turning the issue into a discussion over interpretation of licensing
conditions and routes to their enforcement would be a sure way to see the
rabbit dive into its burrow.
Apart from Paul's tongue lodged firmly in cheek responses I have read
nothing from anyone seeking to defend the practice of infrequent ID.
Direct helpful action is the most likely route to resolving the issue.
Apparently these folks don't know what is acceptable. Setting out what is
and is not acceptable and doing so clearly within the written rules should
fix the problem among those who act in ignorance. Those continuing to
offend could then suffer appropriate sanction.
It feels to me this kind of rule would be one of those most readily policed.
