Avatars----personal property or freely used by anyone?

I think you're safe, on this issue. LMAO

You would be surprised how jealous they are of my VW emblem @Photog gave me

Nope. Think he likes I am a smart A*

With long-timers, I identify people with just the avatar.....all the changing of avatars is confusing. My avatar was designed by dizzee and unless you have a dog like that, what would be the point of having that avatar? It's not patented or anything, but it's special to me. You can use it if you want, but I'll put a curse on you!

The way I see it, they're pretty much a public domain. Even if yours has been made personally, by that logic you shouldn't be using anything you found elsewhere if you didn't make it yourself.

However, people should still respect the fact if one is already in use. After a while they kinda become synonymous with their user.

And Upstate, you'll probably be glad to know I no longer picture everything you post being said by a cat when I read it.

It led to confusion and he was told by more than 3 members before I said anything.

I also messaged him on his profile 2 weeks prior privately.

I never get confused because I have progressed to the point where I read the name (that's a sequence of letters arranged in a particular order) that is next to the picture thingy.

You in the midst of a sex change?

...who can't help subconsciously imagining other users as their avatar pic? Anything IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U posts I can't help but picture Gumby saying it. And Upstate, I'm sorry but you are a cat in my mind.

A rowdy cat at that

Man, I was hoping to see this echo chamber get deleted.
