I do not suggest anyone else change their avatar to their own picture, thats totally up to each and everyone on this forum and others. I'm sure some of you have blogs, someplace where you interact with people you know or maybe don't know having that open to the public is far more open that your mug on this forum.

I am a very quiet member of an adventure riding forum dedicated to adventure motorcycle riding, and there are a lot of people on that forum that share their photos from rides, their ride diaries with their real names, their addresses and pictures and i have never heard of a single person on that forum being hassled "IRL".

So I put it to you, a bunch of bikers are a better, safer, more courteous and honest community than a bunch of book worms?

Just a thought
I'm on another forum where a lot of professionals; attorneys, retired law enforcement agents and investigators, forensic scientists, journalists, engineers and so on have devoted thousands of man hours towards proving someone's innocence. many of those good folks use their real names and contact information. in some cases many harassing emails, calls and snail mail have arrived at their homes and actually been sent to spouses. very sad

I figure that's close enough. . .
I'm willing to bet that offers of cybersex just don't pop up in your messages very often!
