Subject: What do you see?

I find it sort of amazing that most of us have cyberly known each other for over ten years. As has been discussed to a fair the well, this type of interaction is limited in dimension. Nevertheless, I, and I'm sure others, have associated what is, in my opinion, a cyber-personality with each handle. These cyber-personalities may or may not be even close to what that person is like in real life, but it's who we think they are. Some of these personaities appeal to us more than others, but, with few exceptions, I'm not certain if one's impression of a cyber-personality is the same as someone else's.

In a recent post on another board, Jasmine posted what I'm sure was a self-deprecating description of what she looked like. I don't know how many others do this, but I also associate a handle with an image of a person in my mind's eye. Some may be close, because I may have once seen their pictire and I remotely recall what they look like, while others, I think, I just made up over the years, often based on what they've written.

Some examples:

Siobhan is short, petite, with red hair. She's cute, like Katie Couric.

Jasmine has always been a tall blond woman.

Ouiblet is a thin asian looking woman (I think I may have seen a picture of her years ago.)

China Blue is 5'5, brown hair, with an exotic look.

Tarhel is a tall African American man (I think the African American part came as a result of what I've read. I could be wrong.)

TM is a tall, thin man, light brown hair, who wears a suit all the time.

Silk Knight is a short, heavy man with black hair. (I think he's heavy, because of what he's written about himself.)

I guess the questions are, am I alone, or do you also view a handle with a unique personality?

What do you think I, and the others, look like, if you've created such images in your mind's eye over the past ten years?
