You know, we discuss all sorts of things in this newsgroup, some of them
relevant and some of them less so. Over a period of time a picture
starts to build up of the main protagonists. It almost like listening to
The Archers, but it's actually worse than that because we can hear the
voices in that programme. Now look here you guys, you can see a picture
of me by looking at my website
wrightsaerials.tv
but I have never seen a picture of most of you. Now come on, who's up
for it? How about posting mugshots of yourself somewhere where we can
all see them? I have mental pictures of many of you but I expect they're
terribly inaccurate. And while you're at it, a few pictures of your work
station, office, house, the view from your window! Even a potted
biography if you dare! Let's try to make this group a bit more homely!
To start the ball rolling here are a few pictures that represent my life:

No one knows this place exists, I suspect it has few lurkers, so we're largely
only talking to ourselves. However I'm careful not to make any career limiting

Yes, it's just like Twitface except the slebs, the law, and the Daily
Mail don't know about it, so it's possible to have a reasonably casual
conversation without somebody with nothing better to do sifting
through every word looking for something to be offended about.

Very wise. This tiny corner of the online world is *not* invisible to
Google searches. People may occasionally see posts in uk.tech.digital-tv
without even knowing of the existence of this newsgroup or even that
newsgroups exist.
