OK, so I totally misunderstood the meaning of your avatar and was unaware of the backstory. I was thinking it had something to do with the scientist your avatar represents lol. I love the Hayden planetarium. But I digress. Niel, don't take your critics to heart as they don't know you personally as you don't know them. I am sure their advice was well meaning and perhaps you can take some of the advice that you feel you can benefit from and leave what you don't want.


Kenny, now I want to know the meaning behind your avatar. Spill it. Please.

Neil, are you a woman?

She is a woman.

Yeah they were from Whiteflash. It was weird

Yeah I am a woman. I shortened my name recently sense people kept misspelling it, and I chanced my picture to neil degrasse tyson as both an ode to the new name, and as a way of expressing my feeling toward some things on the board lately.

I wish PS had a "like" button so I could "like" your post, Niel.
"The Secret Lives of Scientists & Engineers"! Love it.

As an aside, WF once sent me chocolates after my sales rep learned that I'd lost a big contract for work. I know they meant well. But it was weird.

I thought it was funny so I use it.
That's all.

Synchronized swimming has always struck me as part amazing athletics, part art, but also part ridiculous.
This pic epitomizes the later.

The poor woman is clearly gasping for air after performing some amazing underwater athletic feat, but I'm an immature moron who just relishes the absurdity of how she looks.
I'm a jerk.

You're not a jerk. Your avatar is funny and somehow fits with your online persona. Thanks for explaining.

And your signature??

Someone called my mantra, "People vary" my shtick.
I don't recall who posted that, nor do I care.

Not keeping track of who says what is such a blessing.
