All the Forum Fest pictures I posted had edited name tags.
I did this because in past years I discovered that a few forum members preferred it that way. They were OK with posting their picture but not with associating a face with their forum name.

FF1: we had a contest to match the screen name with the people in the group picture. I don't think we ever saw a posting with all the answers.

FF2: Some people were identified in pictures and others were not. There was a permission list/system as I recall.

FF3: I assumed that anyone in the pictures that wanted to identify themselves to the online community can do so in the COMMENTS section under the picture. Screen names, real names or whatever.

So, based on past experience, I chose to edit the name tags. Should I be rethinking this and exchanging my pictures for the unedited versions?

I wanted to thank everyone involved with the gathering. There were so many details and a lot of thought, work and preparation (not to mention the clean up). Instead I'm talking about name tags.
I didn't think my name tag editing would be controversial.
