It's the internet, feel free to portray yourself any way you want. Just seems to me that you are a knowledgeable poster with substantial contributions to make but the self-styled avatars become the focal point rather than what you have to say.
just for the sake of contributing -- i didn't even notice them until people pointed them out.

the logic doesn't work -- the avatar becomes the focus only if YOU make it the focus. If she's got great contributions, and you're focusing on the avatar -- that's a commentary on you....

...not her.

Fair enough. I completely disagree, but hey- that's what's great about a "racing" message board; we all have a place to air opinions.

Well, its obviously moot now. For those on the board who know me well, they could see the humor in the original photo.
