Does anybody else automatically create a preconceived image in their minds eye of what they think other forum members look like purely based on their username or avatar? :?

No points for that - a beard would be untidy! :lol:

And I don't look much like my avatar either. :lol:

I don't necessarily look like a hand either (I hope!) but still something in a name or an avatar still gives off a vibe that I inexplicably judge rightly or wrongly who the person on the other side is or what they look like... :?

It's then afterwards that you meet them and think "hmmm.... you're not at all what I pictured" :lol:

I always use a recent photo as an avatar, otherwise it can cause confusion.
