When I read your earlier post I thought you had totally valid complaints and I didn’t notice anything wrong with the post, but now that Laylak pointed it out, it does seem out of place to see the full names. I don’t think it’s that big a deal because I don’t think most people here are likely to harass anybody, but the names also don’t add anything for this forum’s purposes.
As always thanks for your outsized contributions. You always have among the very best quality photos we see in any given year. And I think your post was made without ill intent. I just think Laylak has a point that naming names, here, doesn’t add much and doesn’t fit in with the ways we normally use this forum.

I was asked by a forum member who the new organisers were and told him. This is public information. If the mods have any issue with my posts, I'm sure they'll edit or remove them. In recent years I've rarely passed comment on the various rides. I only did so this time because I was so dismayed to see what was once among the very best WNBRs in the world reduced to a toxic and mostly male event at which the participants were made to feel far more uncomfortable in Preston Park by the organisers than they ever were by so-called nuisance photographers.
This forum is here primarily for the sharing of media, so I'll shut me beak now and get on with uploading some more snaps from last weekend to Flickr.
