I received a private e-mail on this topic. I shall preserve their anonymity, of course. But you feedback is solicited. here is the message...



Have you thought about changing your picture on Eunuch.org? You are so active on the list, that we all might appreciate a bit of a pictoral change?

Just a suggestion.



The main problem with this suggestion is that I don't have a camera. My current avatar was taken by somebody else at a science fiction convention. Still, if their is enough of a demand for a new picture of me, I'll see what I can do.

Personally, I don't see a damned thing wrong with the Avatar.

It is you, and if you can't be what you want to be here then where the hell are you supposed to go?

I wish that I could find the poem that I remember from grade school. At any rate it ends with...

...my face, I don't mind it;

because I'm behind it;

It's just the folks out front that I jar!

So, if they keep complaining maybe I can get a pic of Tony Bennett or somebody for you to post...

...if you want to change it I see nothing wrong with that, either.

Maybe a custom made suit, Indiana Jones fedora, or pehaps a bathing suit picture.

C'MON, everyone. What do you want our buddy Andrew to do here?

I vote that he does as he damned well pleases,

...what say you all?

...if you are all getting tired of me staring at Vi's cooch, let me know and maybe I can come up with us doing something...

...ah...er...shall we say a bit different?

Keep it. It's YOUR image. If they don't like it, they can just not look at it.

You are who you are, and you can't change that. I like it because to me it shows that you have nothing to hide(no offense to others)

The chap who asked me to change my avatar has sent me another message, and here it is....



Did they give out those glasses at the convention, or did you bring them with you?



Why on earth would anybody think that a science fiction convention would be handing out glasses?

Andrew,

I think that you should just ignore the jerk!

Andrew--

I don't know why someone would think that, but clearly they are poking fun at you. Just ignore them.

Your picture is a reflection of who and what you are, and if you're comfortable with it, that's all you have to worry about.

Andrew,

PM or email me.

If this person is a pest, I'll get rid of them.
