Having already contributed to this OT stream, I'm guessing another one won't hurt. It's Sunday and debating which Teck choice is the most likely, and when, has been done to death anyway.
MTS, just wondering if you know who the man pointing his finger is. If you don't, I can tell you that it's Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report. Comedic take on American politics somewhat akin to Jon Stewart's Daily Show, which it follows on the late-night TV line-up. So, I suspect that use of that avatar is an indication of Colbert fandom rather than a directive to adopt that member's point of view. Given that context, it's not so bad, perhaps?
I think everyone is agreed that agora didn't do itself any favours by removing CanadaGrant's avatar, but I don't think there's much we can do about it except change ours in sympathy and protest. I'd change mine except that that "horse's arse" avatar is pretty hard to beat! Perhaps we can return OT to the OT forum starting Monday morning?
