Thanks KoshFan; I like it quite a bit too. As Markas came to find, me picking an avatar is an excruciating piece of decision making. I labored for quite a long time to decide between two options I had narrowed my selection down to. I imagine Markas was 'bout ready to wack me over the head with a stuffed animal if I didn't finally make a choice between the two when I did.
Alas, I'm pleased with my selection. It's nice to look at and it has a nice message.
