I am lazy.

I could use the one from Corvette Forum, some here might recognize a '63 ZO6 brake master cylinder. But then its an avatar.

The reasons are legion for NOT placing your photo on the internet, security being one.

I not only don't have an avatar, I don't care to see anyone else's, so I have that feature turned off.

Plus, I have zero interest in other people's home brewed philosophy or some famous quote or other.

The one quote from Marion Mitchell Morrison (born Marion Robert Morrison; May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979), stage name: John Wayne

“I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them."

Lots of people post this corn ball quote which I sincerely doubt came directly from the actor John Wayne, but was written by some anonymous screen writer.

Whenever I read this cornpone as someone's adopted philosophy, I just laugh.

If you absolutely insist on posting something as your doctrine try not embarrass yourself by using a movie quote.

Keith,

Perhaps I wasn't clear.

Avatars and quotes personal or plagiarized don't make up the entirety of the internet.

Right?
