I always prefrred not knowing what a person looked like.  if they really
irratated me, I would imagine them as the world's biggest snoot face. As
always, it is comforting to realize later how wrong I am.  In most cases, I
discover they actually appear quite normal.  Facebook just ruins the 
surprise!!
