Maybe I phrased my comment wrong.
I have no objection to Ed - or anybody else - taking action to correct a locality when they do stuff like this. My concern was that because Ed jumped on it right away the OP might get the idea that there will be someone (like Ed) who will address these things, thus making it not necessary for the OP to do anything else than put up the information about what needs correcting.
All that is an off-shoot of the "Call/write VCDL - they'll take care of it" syndrome. Sure, VCDL swings a nog stick and is generally known for knowing the law. But there are only so many folks who everyone else thinks are VCDL - mostly the Prez and Board. It has always been my understanding that VCDL encourages folks to take the initiative in addressing problems and waiting in the wings with support/assistance if the individual effort is not successful.
Ed is to be congratulated for doing what he does in contacting the localities and setting them straight. He earned my undying admiration over that a long time ago.
What we need are more Eds. My comment was intended to suggest he could give some of the rest of us a chance, and step in if there really was a void. I apologize if that thinking stepped on any toes.
stay safe.
