Thanks for the enlightenment, Lochnar. Congrats on a job well done on what you've lost so far. Watch out for that oxycontin. (It can turn even the most sanctimonious self-righteous into lying addicts and then on to lying hypocrites.)
What makes me uncomfortable with the avatar was the feeling that whoever made it did so with the idea that the image of an obese kid bouncing on a couch(?) was funny - that is, "funny" in a "look at this dizzzGUSTing spectacle, haha" way. THAT is why I was uncomfortable with it. But if I knew that it was a real "this is me" or "this is my wonderful kid" I wouldn't feel that way.
