I think it's more that zmjezhd's explanation of what happened just isn't correct.

The url to an avatar is associated with your profile and must be stored as a datum on the database against the individual profile.

It doesn't matter which of the stock avatars you link to, you can link and unlink to an avatar and not affect anyone else. However Aramis' profile picked up my new avatar, it wasn't because of anything I did such as changing MY link.

And as I said in the post above, unlinking from an avatar doesn't delete them and the original kiwi is most certainly gone.

I can accept that Aramis may have not intentionally grabbed my new avatar, but I need a better explanation of what happened than zmjezhd's...
