Last year we even had official red stickers provided by a LUGnut (Mervin, was that you?). It gets even more complicated because those who routinely tape over the red dots on their cameras (don't ask!) draw a line through the red dot on their name tag to further identify themselves. We are a family who know each other only by our signatures until we see that red dot and can put a face with the name.
