I wouldn't dare say who I think should be cast as me -- I've met too many fodorites who might disagree! Besides, my self-image is a good 20 years younger than the real me.

If you want to see some of the SF area fodorites, there are photos from 2 GTG's to be found here:

And the recent San Antonio GTG here:

There was a really fascinating thread several years ago when I first came on this board in which people wrote how they imagined each other. It was quite amusing.

Thank you Marilyn! It's so nice to see who's behind some Fodorite nicknames. I got to see 2 lovely lady-Fodorites (among others: Marilyn and FainaAgain. Thanks for sharing.

:-D

I'll be played by Judi Dench please :D

Unless I hear a complaint otherwise I will add the above links to the page I maintain.

Hi sfowler! Thanks for serving as Mission Control.

Am I alone in not wanting to know other Fodorites politics, age, religion, or appearance? All of those things can create presumptions about folks. I like Fodors a lot because it's such a level playing field. We all just love travel, and that's enough.

There's too much identity theft in this world to post photos in the same place as e-mail addresses, which can be linked to identity codes, cr card #s, addresses, and the like. A hacker with enough technical knowledge could pull all that together, and if I were to provide a photo as well, then he could cobble up a (fake) photo ID as well.

Tomboy: So all the members in other forums should be afraid of identity theft! Thousands of Yahoo users have their pictures in their profiles, me too FYI, and nobody has ever harrassed me. Have a look at www.virtualtourist.com and see that the users are less worried than you in sharing their pictures (both personal ones AND of their trips around the world).If somebody doesn't want to add his/her own picture, FINE.

I don't worry too much about identity theft. Why would anybody want to be me?

That's why I don't post my email and I always use the poster's posting name on that site and never last names.

Now that I've been to a few GTGs, I think a large part of the fun is the mystery of seeing who everyone is <b>at</b> the GTG--kind of like being unmasked at a masquerade party. Of course, subsequent GTGs (when you already know each other) are still fun, but nothing beats the thrill of your initial one.

I don't understand how posting a picture titled, say, Gigglegirl could lead to identity theft? I'd be much more wary about using Auto fill on my computer! and as Batuffolina says thousands of people post on VT and yahoo and other photo sites without problems!


BTW Sfowler! I wanted Judy Densch! But you are probaby closer to her in height!! HA HA

Oh, if you looked at a photo of me, you might turn into a pillar of salt! The few Fodorites who've met me can tell you on a scale of unattractive I'm somewhere between &quot;The Phantom of the Opera&quot; and &quot;sin&quot;!!

P.S. To JOdy and Sally: Neither of you are Dame Judi Dench!

I started a thread about 6 years ago that asked Fodorites to name a celebrity that looked like them so we could at least have a visual image in our head. It got to be some laughs. We decided that I was either Bart Starr or Michael Caine.

Can we use an actress/actor we USED to look like? lol

Bob the Nav: you said you were Bart Starr, and I told you after some remarks Mr Go had made that he must be Chris Elliot!!!

Booky..S and I both have round faces and so does Judi!

:D

Well, heck, my whole head is like a huge globe or pumpkin, but I don't think it makes me look like Judi!
