It would be like my posting a picture of myself in Marine Corps dress blues, the one my mother still has on the wall of her home. More years have passed, granted, between that pic taken in 1970 and today, but the foolish attempt at deception would be the same - foolish.<br /><br />I'm guessing by your two successive responses to the same comment, one day apart, I see, I must have hit a sore spot.

I do not owe readers a way to visually identify me, and nor can I see a useful purpose--readers' or anyone else's--being served by my giving them that ability.
