I was trying to think about why you need that information and was wondering whether or not you are a particularly visual person and needed to visualise a sense of the person you were communicating with.

i'm not a visual person at all, and i don't see why you need to speculate my motives after i already presented them.
let me try and give you a simple analogy: i think that people who approach me wearing sunglasses indoors are pompous asses, and i'd never give them the time of day. if you wanna talk to me and expect me to believe that you're frank with me, you do not have to hide your eyes. it's not that i'd think this person would be suspicious or anything, but if you wanna break the distance don't hide, hiding is always a sign of deep mistrust, which is a rude way to present yourself.
the other reason as i mentioned b4 is the cliche'-ness, everyone here are mac fans, and it's hard to remember so many stevie nicknames and avatars (and of course i don't refer chris martin), that's on the practical side, no judgement there, it's just harder to identify and remember users this way (kids, don't do too much drugs! )
