Lorraine,
Your logo influenced me. I also loved to see it appear on forums.
I wondered if I would find you again, as I only remembered you by your logo.
There is no way to protect anyone on the internet. Everyone is a potential scammer, spammer, thief. That is why we have forums. When we converse and share ideas with no ulterior motive, what you look like does not matter to me. What your advice and hints are, will be my deciding factor as to whether I trust you.
However, everyone should ask themselves, "Does my friends list look like a movie magazine. Have I rejected someone because of the photo?" Be honest now. I admit that one very good friend was almost rejected because of my perception of the photo. So glad that wisdom won out on that one.
I have not made it clear, but I am in sympathy with those who need to protect themselves, or for cultural or religious reasons must refrain from putting up a pic.
