At first, I had my preferences set to not show avatars. But I changed my mind, and I'm glad - I'm enjoying them (but I don't feel I need one).

(It's probably just as well. Triads Purple, Neutral, and Orange came over & are hogging my comics looking for their best shots. I'm trying to convince them to be Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles (respectively) but they're not listening!)

I tend to be plain anyway. No custom title, rarely use smilies, etc.
