user blazar  Ok, so I eventually decided to upload a picture of me. Quite curiously this is basically the only one I had available at the moment. But it's going to stay... <p>"Quite curiosly" especially since it hardly represents me at all in the sense that I (at best) <em>seldom</em> wear stuff like that -- no surprise that some of my friends asked me whether this was a fake photo! <p>But most importantly: who am I in the pic?!?
