Who do you think they are?
 
Just a little fun: pick a forum member who doesn't have a photo of themselves and who you've never met, and describe how you think they might be - no matter how outlandish or improbable! No offence should be taken - just a bit of fun! We all form impressions from very little information - and yet the written word is about as uninformative as emotions go.

For starters: Bob. Now I know he has young kids but for some reason I imagine him to be some wizened old sage who sits on his stoop in the evenings, chewing and spitting baccy while thinking before answering questions, and living it up like the characters in To Kill A Mockingbird (even though that's set in the south and he's up north).

(Sorry Bob!)

I figure you are about 35, male, living in California, probably the high desert, married and overall content.:nod:

Willmore.

70 year-old-bag lady who lives in a lay-by in Newport Pagnell. Was once attacked by a Canada goose and it gave her the idea for a persona.
