This forum raises awareness amongst many pilots who possibly haven't thought about it much before. They may look closer at their NOTOCs in the future, and challenge any discrepancies. If that happens, then I've achieved part of my aim.
So what is the proverbial "he" going to do with this "awareness"? Is he going to crawl into every pallet that's being loaded into his airplane? Of course not.

It's also not the only avenue I'm pursuing in highlighting the issue. This is just one.
And it's not very effective.

No need to shoot the messenger.
Just telling the messenger that he's knocking on the wrong door.

DG violations are being treated quite seriously, so informing the respective IATA and ICAO channels is the ONLY way to get violators prosecuted.

It works, you should try it. Venting on PPrune is not going to help.
