Maarc and Gary have spoken, and Lissa and I obey. At least until everyone else says this one sucks. Can you say codependent? |

| I like both versions of Billy's avatar. But for so long he was my favorite gun-toting Democrat. Hard to get used to the new image. So far, everytime I've looked at it, Barry Manilow's "I Write the Songs" has begun to float through my head. |

That is so weird. I just said to my wife and some others (and they sort of agreed) that the new picture is more macho than most pictures that are taken of me. I see more Manilow in other shots.
Oh, but I think you're referring to the picture in which I actually was toting a gun, right? Ah. Now I get it. |

FWIW, I far prefer the other one. The photo's very dark and for me it drew the attention to the center of the frame. But hey, wtf do I know? I'm just a graphic designer. Best to listen to retired pulp-fiction writers and angry, hypocritical hippies.
Totally just kidding -- gawd, can't believe I still feel like I have to type this  |

Oh, sorry. Thought you were a retired man that likes to write pulp fiction.
Anyway, now I kinda want to see the other one again.  |

Oh well, as long as we are ALL voting.
I'm in favor of keeping the billyweeds but losing the frame. |

| billy, my criticism of your avatar was based on my own taste and it was honest and my intentions were good. I've been involved in a alot of design work and I do think I have a good eye. I think your wiseass response is bullshit. But, I forgot that this website serves as a support group for some of you. |

ehle,
if you wait for a vote, you'll be waiting forever. Just go ahead and launch a Frears forum. |

Funny you should mention that. I planned on going ahead with Frears first (twas majority which spoke, me laddy), but I have no one interested in moderating it and I can't. As much as I really would like to, I'm simply too busy now. Probably like most everyone else. The moment the position is filled, it's a go. |

Fer crying out loud, Marc, do you think I would have had lissa give it another try if I didn't think your suggestion was sincere and possibly valid? Maybe you should write me a script in the future. I didn't think my response was wiseass in the least.
Anyway we now have four versions to choose from and you've only seen three so far. |
