Yup.

Trying to picture Michael Sylvester is a lot like trying to
imagine someone who is a cross between a Rastafarian radio personality
and a young Stanislaw Grof. Stephen Black, on the other hand I picture
as looking a lot like an Oxford don crossed with Carl Jung.

Probably not.
I could almost guarantee that any image someone created of me
from my writings would be inaccurate--and I would assume the same holds
true for most list members as well.
In some kinds of lists you really CAN form a pretty accurate
picture of the individuals (not necessarily body types, but whether they
are conservative or liberal in appearance, friendly looking or aloof,
etc.), but usually only on the more "personal discussion" type lists,
not one for professionals where most if not all members tend to have a
different "public--professional" image from their "private--personal"
one such as TIPS.

Why--are finals over already at your institution (ours end this
week)?

Now, Jim. Don't feel too bad about your appearance. After all,
it's only skin deep! ;-)
