comfort with interviewing

I don't think it should bother us that we can't see them. i think it's an issue that will effect our results because we don't know what is going on behind the avatar and behind the screen, but i don't think it should effect how comfortable we are interviewing people. I perosnally would be more comfortable interviewing people over the internet than in person. you don't really have to worry about being uncomfortable in front of someone you don't know and you have the time to word things the way you really want them to come out. however, not being able to see the interviewee a) doesn't let you study their body language b) doesn't guarentee that you're getting the real identity's answers c) they can hesitate because there's no pressure from a person in front of them to produce an answer. so i guess what i'm trying to say is that maybe bother isn't the right word.... but worry.
