Fair enough and thanks for the insight into the origins of the name and the photo. I have been wondering for some time what the story is behind it.
But not knowing that it is also reasonable that folks might to scared off a bit, or at least be suspect that it is not an encounter with the "normal" application configuration realm...
Some folks out there have to wear suites everyday, process workflows all day long, get involved in meetings about the workflow projects and might use google even...
Personally I changed my avatar picture just to demonstrate how silly the points system is (you get points for changing your avatar), It is also not really professional - I admit.
If SCN gets rid of the silly points system, then I am sure that things (and comparisons, rivalry...) will settle down and more focus can be placed on original and useful content. Folks will be more inclined to use their real names, and if they dont then that is also ok as they behave professionally anyway.
Cheers,
Julius
