I hadn't known you'd disabled avatars, but had noticed you had chosen not to display one. Which is cool.
I'm the sort of chap that appreciates the chance to display good, clear headshots of myself over my range of social media & forum accounts, and while I loved having a cool portrait of Mallarme I got to a point where I thought that, using my own phiz, others could at least see me & relate to me more than otherwise.
Whatever floats your proverbial, I expect.
