Just a little FYI regarding avatars. It's a bit OT but does apply to the whole board.. so

I've received a couple (well... a few) posts regarding the use of avatars..

"Is this acceptable.. etc"

Well.. there are no official rules regarding avatars, nor do I make rules in the first place.. but here's a general suggestion.

1) If the avatar you wish to use has personal significance to you, and is in good taste.. feel free to use it.

2) Basicly if it's in good (well ok.. decent) taste.. go for it. I'll let you know if you're going "to far"... (as will several others, I'm 100% sure!)

3) If you have to ask what good taste means, you'd probably be better off not using it.

4) When in doubt, feel free to ask me... email it to me if you want to.. wobble@zianet.com or gurilla@dfn.com (just incase #1 is down, as they seem to have been lately)

Remember, there are not official "rules", but a general guideline of my thoughts on the subject.

Also, if you need some place to host your avatar, let me know. I'd be happy to host a few for you guys (and gals!)

I have closed this topic in this forum, simply because it is a little OT, but wanted it to reach the general audience of those who have been asking.. so it's here in addition to OT (where it's still open for discussion).

Thanks for reading this long, boring thing.. and Happy New Year!
