To what end?

Everyone else in the story has their photo shown. I was curious what he looked like and figured the omission fill would be appreciated by others.

Ok. I don't think it's particularly interesting.

I imagine curiosity like most things on HN.

There's nothing particularly interesting about the dude's appearance. I recommend saving yourself a click and moving on.

So why are you so interested in this thread and people's interaction with the photo?
