[Insert facsimile of face here]

I understand the need for people to put their pictures on their sites.

They are instrumental in showing people what CAN be done.
They add a closeness to the reader.
There is a level of validation to them.
They show you who the heck is talking.

I suppose it is selfish of me not to put mine up (you wouldn't think so, if you saw me, it is really for your own good).

I dwell on the negative as far as this goes.

Loss of Privacy.
Identity theft.
"My sister's, best friends, cousins, dogsitter was on the internet and guess what he found....."
Photo Abuse (zat head and zat body, zey do not go togezer - no?).

I let my paranoia rule as far as this goes.

An internet photo is forever.
etc. etc. etc.
