Perhaps it would also be interesting to know why/how people chose their avatars.
I'm intrigued by Not A Speck Of Cereal's (I'm going to have to abbreviate you or get RSI), although I'm not entirely sure I want to know all the details! [smiley=raise_eyebrow.gif]

You can call me Speck, or Chris... I no longer will respond to the name Vicky.
I explain my name and avatar in my first post to this thread, which is on page 3, complete with links!
Chris

For a recent reference only...

Reminds me of Diane Keaton's old line from Woody Allen's Sleeper.
Miles, have you ever noticed that D-O-G spelled backwards is G-O-D?
Wow... that's uh, really deep.

Split personality...
Actually it was a username issue. The boring end of it was I had to re-register, hence the "old" and "new" postings.
