Ah yes, the picture thing :D. Well, the main reason I didn't post it at first was because I lacked the ability to (still do, aldo, maldo, waldo...). Someone asked me why I didn't post it, and I said that. Then someone else asked in like the same thread, so I said "um, privacy?". Really my goal was to keep any real physical data of myself in the real world from affecting anyone's behavior. I wanted people to hate me entirely due to what I said and acted like, hate me for ME, not my appearence :D. I wasn't in LOVE with it or anything, but that was my basic logic behind that and also not revealing my name (which may or may not be still hidden, only LL knows for certain as I actually stated it as a fact to him back when I really didn't care that much). Then OB1 gets all huffy about it so I decide to not say my name JUST to annoy him. Then GR "found out" my name through some very specious logic and questinable proof, at which point I decided not to reveal it just to see how long the joke could last. Turns out, pretty long. At this point I've decided everyone can find out for certain who and what I am at the "Uber TC meeting 2005, er, 2006, er, whenever" that we'll eventually have. It won't be nearly as big a deal as the arrival method of choice for lazy (being thrown out of a black van going at full speed while tied up and gagged by unsavory looking people), but it'll be... somewhat... interesting... Eh anyway, that event will culminate, for me anyway, with getting thrown out because I keep calling everyone by their online nickname only because I can't remember anyone's real name.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
