Is it time for profile pictures in Hacker News?

I've been working out recently and I want to show off my biceps to all the cute girls reading Hacker News. Additionally, it would be nice to put a face to people's idiotic comments.

If people want that, they can put a link in their profile. Hackers are experts at following links.

  Users are experts at clicking the back button as soon as they encounter a speed bump.

    You're right. Fortunately, this site is dedicated to hackers, not 'users' :-)

      All users deserve interface respect. All hackers are users. Therefore... All hackers deserve interface respect.

Not necessarily pictures, but a link or an email is nice to have on one's profile. Most readers don't even have that. Sometimes I'm surprised at people who declare that they're looking for co-founders and they don't even put a link or anyway through which you can contact them.
