My reasoning is but made of pure logic:

Thanee is a dude, not the beautiful girl his pic suggests. Because if she was the beautiful gamer the pic suggests, she would show us a full, large-sized picture of herself, and all geeks here (not including myself, since I sold my heart to a lich long ago, read a previous post in this thread) would fall in love with her. She thus would be immediately crowned Supreme Enworld Goddess, be celebrated everywhere on the Internet by an ever growing enthusiast community, be approached by some movie makers from Hollywood, and thus make millions of dollars faster than <insert movie star name here>. No, lets forget about Thanee, and lets praise someone else...

Or perhaps, Thanee is the very girl in the picture. Here is my logic. Several have noted that his/her posts are quite intelligent. So if Thanee is a girl, that means that she is an intelligent girl. The intelligent girl does not want stalker attention. So the best way to avert stalker attention is to put ones own picture as the avatar and then not answer the question. This cast doubt as to weather or not the person is really the person in the pic. Thus no internet stalking. Well, maybe not...

All I can says is I've shopped on the KÖ in Düsseldorf, and I have no problem imagining the girl in that pic hanging out there.

A quick google search of Thanee + Meerbusch turned up the following:

On www.druchii.net:
Viewing profile :: Thanee
Location: Meerbusch / Germany
Occupation: Student of Computer Science
Interests: Roleplaying, Wargaming, Computers, ...

Going with that and a general stigma about Computer Science, I'd say Thanee is a guy. Also, he/she said that the picture was neither of two suggested female actors. The wording of that post leads me to believe that it is not a picture of Thanee either.
Another interesting thing a google search shows is that Thanee is a fairly common name in Asia, specifically around Thailand...
Which could lead one to believe that Thanee might be of Asian origin

God, I feel so lame- I am actually reading and posting in this Thread.

Its not about gaming, its about the sexual identity of a fellow ENWorlder. You realize that this thread is a joke to those that arn't posting on this thread.

Beleive or not. This is actually not the first thread on this very subject.

So what have we learned so far that is absolute fact.

1) It's not a self portrait
2) hmmm .. actually there is no 2)

So we're right back where we started.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the girl in the picture before or someone that is very similar at least. My guess at moment goes around one of the extras (not the leading female role) in the german movie Christiane F but it's as much a long shot as anything else.

"And now at last it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"

She lifted up her hand and from the ring that she wore there issued a great light that illuminated her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement, and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful. Then she let her hand fall, and the light faded, and suddenly she laughed again, and lo! she was shrunken: a slender elf-woman, clad in simple white, whose gentle voice was soft and sad.

"I pass the test," she said. "I will diminish, and go into the West and remain Galadriel."

I think it's a joke to those of us who are posting on the thread.

Remember, all of you googling people out there, that Thanee isn't necessarily Thanee's real name. Also, that picture is pretty professional, so unless Thanee's shelling out the big bucks for headshots, I'd say it's a small probablility that it is he/she.

I think this thread is a good joke for the people posting in it as well

And I wouldn't agree for 100 % that neither
- the picture is Thanee nor
- it's a female.

a) A pretty girl who wants to be able to talk without people judging her because of her sex.
a) A guy wo uses a female avatar and does not reveals his true identity because...(i cant find a reason for that).
Either way i think i always want to know a thing or two about the people i am talking with.
And dont start about pure exchange of thoughts here in threads and nothing more.
You cant know everyone here(thats for sure!), but i get happy when i see some of you in a thread, not because i know you well(how could i ever say that),but because some of you have opened themselves only a bit, just to make me feel good to be around and that pleases me a lot.
That is why i lurk around waisting my precious time.Not just because i want to know about whether psionics or sorcerers do more damage or not, or (put another silly thread here).

Ps: I didn't write all this just to make someone reveal things about himself
or something.Just to say thanks for the company.

Well, truth be told, I have seen Thanee personally (if you look at a map of Germany, Krefeld and Meerbusch are neighbors - I even think Meerbsuch's a suburb of Krefeld).

So...

the pic is an accurate depiction of T.
