hello Mp, welcome to the site and maybe I can put another side to your comment, yes as we get older our life changes, it has to, but we are the ones who have taught those of us to do what they want to do, (and yes there are times when this may annoy you, but let's put this to one side for the moment).
We are doing exactly what our elders have taught us, and so the chain continues, and no it's not nice getting older, all the things I was capable of doing, now I can't do, but I also have OCD and had it for 57 years, struggling as a child which no one knew about, but I can't cry 'wolf', I've had to accept the fact that this illness stayed with me.
I can cope with it while other people can't and I don't blame them for this, my age has mellowed me, so that's definitely a benefit being older.
There has never been a problem for me showing my face and there 'never been any restrictions on people uploading a face pic as their avatar.'
The problem which is a concern is that people you know might identify you and whether this may cause any harm or criticism towards you, for me, no it doesn't matter, I've been on this site longer than anybody else, and if friends or family login and see me, then so be it, it doesn't frighten me at all, so it comes back to you and if you're not afraid then post your name, not Mp65. Geoff.
