That's all well and good, but could you do so in an appropriate forum?
Perhaps you feel that you would have little to contribute in such a forum
or it may just be that you are the kind who would stand in a crowded theater
and shout, "CAR FOR SALE!"
>you might as well kllfile me, it ain't gonna happen.

Not exactly.
Houston's air pollution problem was with ground-level ozone ONLY.
According to the EPA, there are SIX components or kinds of air
pollution, ozone being just ONE of them.
http://www.dallasnews.com/texas_southwest/STORY.e9eb444f2b.b0.af.0.a4.cccba.
html
"In some ways, calling Houston America's smoggiest city misrepresented
the relative quality of air in the two cities. Los Angeles' air is
worse than Houston's in other categories."
More recent info on ozone violations:
http://www.lungusa.org/site/pp.asp?c=dvLUK9O0E&b=50752
Metropolitan Areas with the Worst Ozone Air Pollution
1 LOS ANGELES-RIVERSIDE-ORANGE COUNTY, CA
2 FRESNO, CA
3 BAKERSFIELD, CA
4 VISALIA- -PORTERVILLE, CA
5 HOUSTON-BAYTOWN-HUNTSVILLE, TX CMSA
6 MERCED, CA
7 SACRAMENTO-ARDEN-ARCADE--TRUCKEE, CA-NV
8 HANFORD-CORCORAN, CA
9 KNOXVILLE-SEVIERVILLE-LA FOLLETTE, TN
10 DALLAS-FORT WORTH, TX CMSA
And overall air quality:

Houston's air pollution problem was with ground-level ozone ONLY.
According to the EPA, there are SIX components or kinds of air

"In some ways, calling Houston America's smoggiest city misrepresented
the relative quality of air in the two cities. Los Angeles' air is
worse than Houston's in other categories."
