When this board was bran' new, Hiway (or was it the young 'un, The Drifter) tried to change the avatar. It just didn't 'say' anything to me. I begged 'em to change it back - and whichever one it was changed it! I strutted around for a couple of days thinkin' I had some kind of 'hold' on 'em, then I realized they probly didn't really like it too much either. I'm with you! Sometimes I tend to associate an avatar with the poster.....mine's a little kooky - that's me to a T!!!
