I agree 100%. I totally understand the suggestion to post a picture, but this isn't a social club. I remember at the first SHM I attended, these two guys came up to me and said, "Hey are you Benster??" and one shook my hand while the other took a picture. It was fuckin weird. I'm here ONLY to exchange ideas about USGL with like-minded people. I'm sure others feel the same.
We aren't here to make friends and become one big happy family. We're just proactive investors, and I prefer to keep it that way.
You are correct that it is a TOS violation to post pictures of people too, regardless of whether or not they give permission.
