Me, too, but what's on second and I don't know is on third.

Or something like that.

There are a couple of issues attendant to this exercise.

Now on the board I'm completely confused with who's talking.

Combined with the fact that the "true blue" color is impossible for me to read with the dark board background and the switching of avatars makes for a very confusing situation, because I see an avatar and the most uncharacteristic statements made by the poster, who after I highlight the user name turns out to be someone completely different from whom I had expected.

Does anyone else use the dark background and have trouble with contrast and difficulty reading the usernames?

Well, it was a close race between Lisa's and Grady's avatar. But then I focused in on the things that really count. And in the end, I went with Lisa's avatar as both the avatar and Lisa are rather attractive. Sorry, Grady. Next year, I promise.

Don't tell Lisa, Carl, but you were my top choice. But you were 'taken'.

And 'no', Paul, this doesn't mean you have a license to flirt with me. So stop with the PMs already.

Just saying.

Ok, Ok...here's an idea.

Being that the mods don't hang out here with us problem kids, if someone felt uppity we could always nab our mods avatars. We would need to coordinate it, though, to make the right...shall we say, impression.

I believe it has already been made Craig. Perhaps we could instead get all together and choose one single avatar for everybody and we try to guess which one is the real *insert name here*!

See? That's how you develop a machiavelic plan! Take notes my friend!
