Thanks for all of the input.
I finally did something that I think will make all sides happy.
Including me.  ;-)

I took the pins off that were connected to the nets.
I replaced the pin numbers and the description with simple text
strings in green.

This way, my connector is still self documenting and, hopefully, it
will not start any never ending debates.  :-)

Thanks for the help.

Tom, KC2ZAT
