Does anyone else think that for such a consistently gentle, constructive and generous contributor, Nosy's new avatar has a steely eyed glare and not quite successful attempt at a smile that is, well, just a tad terrifying?
Cheers -- Sylas

It's no less appetizing than your grainy prison mugshot, Sylas.

To demonstrate why I prefer using low resolution grainy photos something like ten years old, I shall (briefly) make a more recent Avatar available. I propose to find a barbar sometime soon with a good pair of number ones. That'll fix it. Cheers -- Sylas

I've always wondered why some people need to have their fetchin' faces accompany every comment they post online. Does your brooding pout truly add to our understanding of your ideas concerning evolutionary theory?

It is not a matter of "need" but a deliberate choice, and reflects my own strategies for engagement in this discussion.
None of this is intended to imply that everyone should use the same approaches. That would be boring. I love some of the avatars being used here. However, when I came to make my own choice, I deliberately opted to use a photo. I use the same avatar in other contexts as well; the idea is that it will help associate my contributions in other forums one with another. I'll be returning the the old grainy one here also; but made this change (and the comment on Ned's avatar) in a fit of levity. Another reason for my choice to use a real picture is that the evolution/creationism discussion is often contentious; and my own personal aims are to keep it generally friendly and helpful. I think a real picture helps remind us of the real person writing the words. I've deliberately chosen to use a pseudonym to keep my internet persona just a bit distinct from my off-line persona. I'm Sylas. But using a photo helps me come across as still being a full person. In the end it is probably not particularly significant. But it is my deliberate choice and strategy for my own personal style of engagement. Cheers -- Sylas [This message has been edited by Sylas, 03-01-2004]

Shouldn't this be in the Dates and Dating forum?

Sylas,
While I certainly appreciate your interest in putting a human face on an otherwise anonymous internet post, this particular version may be a bit extreme. Would it be possible to go back to your first one? It wasn't so, erm, frightening to the children in the audience...

Yaro appears to be making a very creditable effort.

Sylas, your updated avatar has just appeared.
Note to self: do not take selfportraits first thing in the morning, particularly when not sober.
