Post your picture in this thread for all to see and improve your popularity on the GB!
*picture removed*
Added note: I was only half kidding about wondering if pics can make someone more likable. I don't mean to say that in a condemnatory way - I posted a ton of pics when I first got here, and I've used photos of myself in my AV. I think that phrasing it as a path to popularity, for me, was tongue in cheek. Maybe some people look at it that way. But, all in all, I think that viewing a photo of someone on the GB allows us to relate to them on a rather personal level (even if that feeling is artificial- that is, based only on *our* idea of who we think is behind the words and photos). Anyway it's just a gobbleygook of junk about psychology, reception and vision theory, which I don't feel like going any further into at the moment...and besides this is just supposed to be a footnote.
