:P Actually, there was one time where I believe I changed my avatar at least 10 times, but I'm not certain as Andrei, Paul and the Sarge usually keep better track of my insanity than I do. :)

Not sure about 10 times but I'm certain that you once changed it in less than half-an-hour time.

The closer we get to October, the more I think Penderecki is entirely appropriate, so I'll keep him up as my avatar for awhile. I've been digging his music quite a bit lately.
