Interesting.  I should find a better pic.  It looks grainy now as an avatar pic.

Hm.  I'm not seeing a whole lot of avatars.  No one else has figured it out yet?

Nice.  I knew someone else would figure out the avatars soon.

I don't notice any difference on formatting or page load times.

Is this a joke for April 1st?  Because I don't see any avatars.

Try putting up an avatar.  Then see if we can see it.  We can get more people to put them up.

I wouldn't have known that if you hadn't said it.  I was wondering what it was.  If that's really true, Nils is going to make you take that down or remove it for you.

How about this one instead?




Nils is going to get rid of the avatars I bet.  Or he'll have to approve them.  It's probably another reason we didn't have them before.

Nah, the problem is that you're in part of the world that's a little behind.
