We now have the capacity to "rate" a thread by assigning it a number of stars to reflect our estimation of its worth/value. Would that we had such a method to respond to the selection of avatars. I am home this afternoon, recovering from a two-hour root-canal procedure and may be under the influence of the analgesics prescribed by the endodontist, but tsuwm's avatar is five stars in my humble opinion. It just sort of captures the je ne sais quoi of tsuwm.
