Seriously,

I value my privacy rights and I feel that we are slowly loosing them (
but this is a whole different thread altogether )

B U T  If I go to an event such as the Picnic I expect people to take
pics and put them online for the whole gang to view.

Just like going to the beach, to a concert, to a car show or any other
public or 'semi' public event.

Obviously I do not expect to see the pictures popping up all over the
web with me being the focus, this is why I do not show up dressed funny.

So bottom line from my point of view is that using common sense and
being considerate is always good but sometimes a good portion of self
confidence ( yeah I don't mind being seen with you folks ) is in order.

Varol :)
