Reply #23: Avatars are funny.

[darkstar3]

I was disappointed when I first signed up here, because all of the built-in avatars didn't really speak to me, until I found the Tux one closer to the bottom. I thought that would be fitting for me on many levels, not least of which was your point about Torvalds.

But what I find funny about avatars is that so many people on this site end up with the same one. More than once I've found myself surprised by a POV put forward by someone with a familiar avatar, only to find that it was a different user who just switched to that generic pic. The peace sign and union avatars have some of the most confusing and contradictory posts put up under them... ;)
