you might be partly right, angel! but if you gather all contributed details there's
definitely a chance of appraising forum users. there are many aspects worth
considering, particularily when things like art are presented. if you have a look
at all these "traces" i'm pretty sure that one might gain a certain impression about
the character of the respective person!
of course, on the web people can show themselves in another way as they are
in real live. but in most cases i think, that there's a distinct expression in the way
they present themselves in general. it's not that easy to pretend to be someone
else as you really are, even on the web. you can either trust people in their
"appearance" and rely on you personal experience in judging them
or you would have to be VERY cautious and critical about everybody
you're talking to in forums and such, because virtually anybody could have put
up a "digital disguise". i prefer the first option.
