What's funny is that this reveals that I carry a vestige of the superstitious belief that taking a picture steals some or all of your soul. Otherwise, why would it matter if a stranger had a picture of me? Even if they were getting paid for publishing said photo, I would hope that my greed wouldn't come into play (you get paid, so I should get some of the money for it). Yes, naturally, the photo *could* be used for criminal purposes (put up on a dating or porn site), which I would object to, but 1) most people are not criminals and 2) taking the photograph is not in and of itself a crime (photosouping it onto a naked body and posting it on a porn site is the crime). But I must admit that it gives me a chill to think of a stranger taking photos of me as in the example -- she said, looking at her two photo postcards, one of a young girl, one of an elder man and woman. I wonder how they feel about having their pictures on my wall? H -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
