I need to have some consistency in avatars....when people change them I think the poster is a new member...unless it's some one whose on-line name is familiar...like scrulie,machine1,Bazza,etc,(someone who has been around for a long time and doesnt have some unpronouncable japanese anami name.)
I would rather not see peoples photos....it's to difficult not to be influenced by someones looks(attractive or not),I would much rather "judge" their words on their content then their appearance.One reason I hate watching movies made of books I have read is that the characters never look or sound like what I imagine in my head.It's really annoying
My avatar is just one part of my personality....child like at 43 and love being part of a "puppy pile".Yesterday,I clocked out at work and spent the next hour being cuddled and getting kisses from several puppies...best part of the job.(can you imagine at job you would stay late at even without pay?)
Some very interesting thoughts here. Yes, movies can be irritating when you have read the book; particularly when, in addition to the inherent potential incompatibility of what each reader has inwardly pictured with what they end up seeing, they actually make a number of unnecessary changes that do not actually improve the story from how it was in the book. There are exceptions
