The majority of the votes are for Yes, to have pictures, but the comments are for No.<br /><br />I don't need to "see" someone or know what they look like to have a discussion or to connect with someone. Goodness, how long have phones, telegraph, letters, etc. been around, and we haven't been able to "see" the person until just recently!Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made May 14 at 2014 12:52 PM2014-05-14T12:52:39-04:002014-05-14T12:52:39-04:00SPC Private RallyPoint Member126784<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Photos are not important.
