We are not Coopers and Lybrand - we are real people. If somebody really
objects to an image then their complaint should be taken seriously but
let's not try and second guess the world.

PS I am trying to get my staff to take photos where they don't all appear
to be a bit crazed...

Also, I think you missed my sarcasm about Rory and the invisibility cloak.
They're non-issues, just as Brandon's photo is a non-issue.

Dan,
A placeholder for people without pictures shouldn't be a problem. Thats
common use. And they are all the same so thats a OK thing.
The picture of Rory is a picture of Rory. It even says its a mascot and I
agree with Erik we need Tux for Engineering.
And no, we are not in the 1950's but as a international organisation we
should still keep in mind that tattoos aren't accepted world wide.
Placing
your tattoo on a staff page and your face faded
away is provocating the
fact that he has tattoo's and not proffesional.
Secondly all staff pictures are made by a professional photographer? Or
kind of in the same setting. That will keep the page uniform also.

"Cloak of invisibility?" Or the picture of Rory as "mascot"?
Further, what does "all but neutral" mean?
Really, aren't there better things to do than play morality police
because
someone "might" be upset about some
ink? This isn't the 1950's. Who is
upset, and why?
