How did you decide on your author icon for AT

I've averaged about 1 icon change every 3 years or so.

I think I started out as the xmas tree, then clipboard, and something else in between.

i've been using the graduate male for quite some time now. it's the only one that looks remotely like me, though not by much

I picked the cow when I signed up because it was the coolest and it still is.

I don't know why I chose the one I did. Radiation is nifty, perhaps?

It's the same one I've had since I joined.

I like wolves. I like tigers, as well, but I saw the wolf first so I picked it. Haven't changed my avatar yet, well, except for a short time with no avatar and then recently with the administration avatars (thanks for ruining that, everyone :( :p).

I was the first person to use the cow way back when. Now days, I don't much pay attention to avatars (on any site).

Started with an American flag, kept that until this past Christmas, with the accordant tree, and after that... I dunno, just felt like using this one.

I picked the dragon because not many people use it. Makes it easier to find my posts.

It was a traumatic decision. Finally just 'threw a dart'.

Never could understand males using female icons. Other than just messin' with people it may be indicative of some deep issue.

Changed it to the US Flag after 9/11 happened. Haven't changed it since.*

* Excluding the custom avatar fiasco.

I used the Borg avatar at the beginning for obvious reasons but that made me look like too much of a Trekkie so I switched to the cute cow.

Based it off what I am. I was a mechanic, then I was a dragon.
