Good for you. Your reply of Lincoln's wise advice is such a kind and more human solution than one suggestion. A circumvent ( or call it nasty, superior, me teacher you dumb ?) kind of act such as printing a copy of proper flag etiquette and leaving it (anonymously I am sure) on the door step.... such a loving, kind, and mature gesture that would be !

I would ignore it, since it's none of my business. There is a home I pass daily where the Flag flies on a tall flagpole—daytime (whether sunny or torrential rain) and night (with no lighting), and eventually it will fray and tatter. I know this is improper Flag etiquette, but this too is none of my business....

Here is the link for the United States Flag Code.

The US Flag; Position and Manner of Display

In every instance the word "should" is used, not "will" or "shall" in describing how the flag is to be displayed or used. In paragraph (m) the president, state governor, etc., can order the flat to half staff a government facilities but I read nothing that governs private display.
