If you were aware of an archaeological contractor whose website was, to say the least, somewhat misleading would there be anything you could do to effectively complain about it? What if the person largely responsible was an IfA member and made quite a big play about that fact?
In the case I am thinking of the organisation in question is effectively a one man band working out of their house (before anyone starts, this is not an attack on all one man bands). However, the website and other advertising literature is vague and misleading enough to give the impression that there is a much larger team (there might be for all I know, but I'm certainly not aware of any other employees). In fact, it specifically talks about a 'management team' and 'consultation team'.
The question therefore is, just how morally bankrupt is this sort of behaviour? Is it a matter for the IfA, for Trading Standards? Or I am just being a bit ungenerous, bitter, and lacking in imagination?
