well I don't use my real picture, since ther is no real picture of me posted anywhere on the net. period. yes I'm paranoid and kind of a loner.
It's not (at least as a primary reason) because of my appearance, but it's plainly a far to big chunk of personal data to be made freely accessible on the net IMHO
it's just the same as not posting my fingerprints or DNA sequences.
I would always take a personal request for a picture into consideration, depends on the reasons given and the level of trust I developed in the person asking. (it'isn't really worth it, believe me)
whenever personal recog matters I always use the same nick, so when you happen to stumble upon someone called Freeshadow it's actually worth checking if it's me. I also declare age (tough not birthdate) and sex.
It helps with minor nuissances, be only the propper adressing and no need to explain WHY I give a s* who the actual N° 1 freak in the $_charts is.
why I don't use an avatar is fairly simple too.
a) I've never seen something that 'd really fit.
b) my nick represents the way I see my presence on the net absolutely sufficient.
