Okay, then. I changed my avatar and itsjustme changed immediately to my new one, no 12 hour delay, no nada.

Probably a matter of you logging on as both users, Connie. The delay occurred because of caching.

this has all been a most unfortunate misunderstanding.

but the thing that troubles me most is the fact that there's no record of all the fantastic avatars I've used (hi WO'N!) -- every post I've ever made (all 7223 of 'em) has the current avatar.

I have now changed the avatar for Itsjustme so that my two (visible) personalities have their own representations.

He did, but apparently failed to tune in until after the firestorm had reached its zenith. Never did see the new image applied to his posts, but the flak seemed to suggest it had been that way. He was unaware of the post quantity rule, but is grateful for the apologies and explanations aired. He does not plan to select a troll image, and anyone who is offended by kestrels should probably weigh in now.

As I wrote above, I PMed Aramis11 and apologised for accusing him of stealing my avatar. He's responded very graciously, and asked that I clarify his position for once and for all, which is:

He linked to my Kiwi avatar, not realising it belonged to someone else.

And that is ALL he did.

The rest was down to my not realising that avatars are named using your membership number. And how the board caches avatars. Plus my temper, of course.

He's now gone all hawkish on us, so I'll duck for cover.

Enough. Please leave it alone and don't muddy the waters any more.

Jackie suggested an image search; not sure what brought 'kestrel' to mind but remembered they look distinctive. In cases of ire kindled, Aramis admits also to a tendency to immediately think the worst to start with. Much thanks to the fire brigade.
