I would be willing to do this; however, before getting into such a
function, I would want to be get some more
instruction/discussion/whatever you call it on what the rules are and
when lines are being overstepped, so that I have the capability to
make an autonomous decision in at least most of the cases; without
that, I don't think anything is really won.
