It seems to me that since some of our number had already created some
ill will prior to the advent of IBOC by demanding QSL's, claiming
stations with legitimate PSSA's or CH powers were cheating or whatever,
labelling every station which has a technical malfunction as a cheater,
etc., etc., compounding that by a barrage of complaints from persons
identifying themselves as DX'ers would be 1) ineffective; 2) make the
hobby's image worse, and 3) play into the hands of those amongst the
rabid defenders of IBOC that their belief is indeed valid - that we're
a bunch of nasty no-goods. 

Not something I think we ought to be doing.
