Absolutely.
And as advocates, more than just an interest -- almost a duty.

As someone who did just that, all I can say Tim, is:
  HOW WRONG YOU ARE !!!
I'm not prepared to go into details on this list, but believe me, they
are *horrific*.  You really don't want to know.

And I think this is the nub of the concerns expressed by Nick and
myself.
I personally am not prepared to be a party to, or to help in any way,
anything that is not up to scratch or truly competent -- professionally;
technologically; pedagogically.


Again -- just a personal attitude I have -- put it down to ethics; and a
professional code of conduct.
(You may read into that whatever you want.)
