I think you are saying people recognizing your face is not a business reason.

It sure was for me when I got my Wordpress account just for that one reason in 2008.

(I think we are really debating how wise it was for the meetecho people to use Gravatar for this function.  I personally think it was brilliant, because it gave them a useful feature for very low effort [gravatar libraries abound].  But, unless you know about automattic [sic], it does trigger our paranoia reflexes; it was interesting to see the lynching mob in this thread.  And the process for getting a gravatar set up really is near-ridiculous, but then $0 is really cheap…)
