Is this something you have noticed yourself?
I know that there are some thoughtful folks here, but the avatars they choose *almost* always cause me to discount their words in advance. Perhaps I'm just too old.

I made the same mistake when I first signed up with Mobleread. I had no idea whether I'd be back or not and wasn't clear if membership was required. I was in a hurry and all the names I tried were taken or, repeatedly, they were too short: at that time Mobileread required 6 character long names. I kept hitting that barrier over and over until, in frustration, I decided I'd give them what they wanted and move on. Now I'm stuck with it.
...
I always recognised that 6charlong was 6-characters-long, (while simultaneously thinking of a type of tea, because that's the way my head works), but assumed it was some part of geekish lore I was unfamiliar with (and prejudged geekish attrbitutes to you accordingly ). I always liked it, because I pronounce it "Six Charlong" in my mind, and imagine some SF character, perhaps cyborg, perhaps clone, certainly trained in espionage, assassination, and personal defence...well, like I said, my head works that way. I also liked it for the geekish association I assumed. Now that I know why you selected it, you've just added a punchline that makes me love it all the more (and the puppy doesn't hurt either ).

That's a lot to assume from a username. I think I'm just making Ea's point.

Cheers,
Marc

I've been following this for days, and a while ago someone posted a picture I fell in love with. This is definitely not me, and not exactly what I wish I were, but I like the spunk and devil may care joie de vivre. Since nobody else latched onto it, I'm taking it!

And yeah, I do think avatars help form that first impression.

No, your mom is just always nuts Common, no sane woman would get kids! I tried to tell my sister-in-laws, but only one listened to me... It was too late to tell my mother though...

(but she'll know again in 2 1/2 weeks, when I'll be spending christmas and new year with her!)

This is going to sound weird, but right after I changed avatar I suddenly couldn't match up my words with my avatar. Didn't fit at all. It was very confusing. Now I'm gotten a bit more used to it. Something festive for the season.

I love read. I must admit the techno-lion I thought of as male, but you're definitely all female now!

Actually, i find your new avatar somewhat scary.... The girl in the picture looks like she's ready to bite you or something.

There's a reason for that . . . it's kind of scary! JSWolf had a "The Penguin" penguin avatar for a while and I would cringe everytime I looked at it.
. . . sometimes I'm such a girly-girl!
