I think we need to see a picture of Chris; for too long now, I keep thinking that Dee Snider is Chris - this must be stopped, so, a request for you piccie Chris!

[william 0]

Yes, I agree Oli, I voted for yes! Chris should reveal himself to us, cos I also keep picturing him like his avatar and am getting sick of it!!

[Master Jmd 82]

isnt there a reflection of him in his 'chirchil crowned' bike?

[william 0]

That's the guy who owns the bike!

[Master Jmd 82]

That's the guy who owns the bike!

oh, ok, sorry...yes, i am also thinking that chris is his picture ...

[Half Penny Jon 0]

C'mon Chris, show us your photo!!!!!!!!!

[Sylvester 15]

perhaps he wants to remain a man of mystery...

[Chris Perkins 228]

What if I actually am Dee Sniner? Or look a bit like Dee Snider in some respects? I like Dee Snider representing me!

You are the 'people', the customers, the forumees, so maybe in order to keep your support I may have to bow to the pressure.

[william 0]

Why don't you want your face up here anyway Chris? C'mon, we all said that we wanted to see it!

[Emperor Oli 0]

Yes, Chris, always bow to peer pressure!

Has it occurred to you latter day Orpheuses that

a) there may be a mysterious curse attached to anyone who gazes on the visage?

Chris might be a three-headed alien from the planet Predec who is hiding his true identity behind his shock-headed avatar?

c) He might equally be a 74-year old Saxon Hausfrau who's been kidding us all along?

d) ...or nothing more that a computer-generated information system programmed to answer queries?

e) That if we see what he looks like, then he's got a right to demand to see what we look like?

(Look, it's not my fault I look like Gary Bushell...)

I don't mind showing him a pic of me...

[Emperor Oli 0]

Ditto, perhaps the profiles could be altered to allow for an actual portrait as well as an avatar.

[william 0]

That's a good idea!

[Half Penny Jon 0]

C'mon Chris, we all want to see what you really look like (I keep thinking you look like your avatar)!!!!!!

[Sylvester 15]

I don't mind showing him a pic of me...

This is another reason why i avoid these things.

Rest assured i won't be putting one up, ever.

yes, me too. also, (no offence to chris) if we do see chris then we may be disapointed because he is not what we expected. i think we should be allowed our privacy in these matters. posting a picture anywhere on the web can be dangerous, and it is possible for othe people to track down people from the photo. i am staying private, as should anyone elce with any brain cells.

[Sylvester 15]

I see you agree with me. From the point of view of security and the safety of your collection i would advise against it, if someone you know comes across a picture of you on the site and they know you've got a house full of coins they might just pay a visit.

[Chris Perkins 228]

Couple of good points raised, i'd go along with those! Maybe I'll send autographed photos to members or something

Mmm with billions of people in the World, I'm sure some psycho is going to spend the time and money to track us down.

what i meant is if someone you knew (who didn't like you... and i've made alot of enemies in my time), saw your pic they might just think ah i know where he lives.

I knew someone at school who bragged off about his new bike, two weeks later it had been nicked by someone else in the school for drug money.

Point taken

[Geoff T 3]

Remember Semele! In Greek mythology Zeus took a fancy to her and whisked her off to Olympus to add to his collection of beddable mortals. Hera was a bit put out - well, you'd be if you were Mrs. Zeus - and had a cunning plan to take her revenge. She disguised herself as Semele's sister and told her to demand Zeus prove his love by appearing in all his glory. She pestered, Zeus tried to put her off, but she was having none of it. Raising herself to her full 5 feet (she was short), she moved towards him (slowly, because of her heels) and threatened to clobber him with her Morgan bag unless he relented. So he did, and she got burnt to a cinder by his godlike radiance.

Moral - be wary of demanding to see the real face of anyone, especially if they have flaming red hair and you're a short, slow-moving young female with a Morgan bag.
