Okay, am I preaching now or just talking?

Okay, no one answered. Two of you said I need an avatar. Why? What does a cartoon drawing have to do with discussion?

It has nothing to do with discussion per se, but it does show that there is a certain depth to your character and that you have, at least, a small desire to be a part of what is a vibrant community rather than this 'me against the rest of them' attitude that you seem to have.

Also, a refusal to have an avatar demonstrates a rather stuffy and arrogant attitude towards what is basically a friendly little club.

It's a bit like going to Hawaii and refusing to wear flowers around your neck when asked to by the attractive native girls. You don't have to of course but people will think you very boring and one dimensional.
