Somehow, on

are.
And do we accept this as a given? Do we excuse it by saying, "that's the way
things are & always will be". And, as someone said, "that's the nature
of a
mailing list". Or, do we see it for the primitive, dehumanizing behavior
that it is - and do something about it?
Photos on user pages? If you know what someone looks like, they seem
more like a real person and less like some bits in a database.
Obviously, some people would not want their picture on their user
page, but for those that do, it might help. And improving relations
between those might help improve relations with the others too.

Would people really be happier if there was a picture of me on my
userpage? I'd be happy to add one if this is some sort of big deal.
