Why is this discussion focussing on pelagic trips? The question applies
to issuing information about who was where at a certain time for any
forum. Ordinarily if I went on a birding trip with a group and the names
of those who went on it, were issued publicly, I would probably be
disappointed if my name was left off. However I can well understand
circumstances when maybe I or other people would not wish it to be
broadcast that I or they were at a certain place and time - this does
not just apply to birding trips but maybe for example attending the
cricket on a work day (not that I have ever done that). There might be
people who do not wish others to know this. So I agree that it is simply
polite to ask participants if they would like their name included in
write-ups of such events and abide by that.

Good question. When I organised the Perth pelagic trips, I simply
followed the types of trip reports from elsewhere. But in 15 years,
noone has asked to be deleted. In the early reports I used to put
links to their email addresses on my web site version, but I stopped
doing this when spam became a problem.
I must admit that I do scan through the list of participants when I
read a pelagic trip report from the eastern states.
