My favorite part of the article: "Professional complaints followed in May, mostly about individual chiropractors’ claims. Then, in June, blogger Simon Perry found the BCA database of 1,029 members online, containing 400 website URLs. He wrote a quick computer program to automatically identify all the chiropractors in the UK claiming to treat colic, locate their local Trading Standards office, and report them (more than 500 in total) automatically, followed up with printed letters."

I like this bit:

    So Perry reported over 500 chiropractors to them,
    alleging they had made claims without adequate
    evidence. The GCC rejected his letter, saying it
    only takes individual complaints. A pile of
    individual complaint letters were instantly
    generated and delivered to their door.
