    If I was a woman I would love to have a natural set like that - But as I am a mere mortal male with an appreciation for natural beauty I think they look eye catching - even pleasantly distracting.

    I wouldn't like to see lots of that stuff here, but a speck of gold in a pile of sand is nice.

    My wife thought the avatar was funny when she first saw it.

    Harmless really for us two.

    I don't like any animated avitar and I find them annoying. But then again I find most avitars to be an expression of sillyness. Very few of them seem to represent the personality of the owner.

    So rather than getting upset over them I turned all avitars of on my computer. Seeing that this way none of them annoy me anymore I voted that I don't care either way.

    So keep it if you want to Doug and if someone is using their work computer tell them to turn the avitars of or stop stealing time and resources from their employer.

    phew! For a second there I thought you were talking about me.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    If ya can't have a bit of fun when doing something you enjoy it's a sad day.

    To me an avatar is a visual name & quickly recognisable, then again some written names annoy me no end.

    It's your avatar - you should keep it. That's as much as I'm going to say, cos there's just something wrong with saying "I like your jugs, Doug"

    No Peter,
    This should be Gumby's avatar if it had to reflect his username
