Like our sigs (only more so, because they do not depend on our posts to exist, and they tend to change less often), these little pictures define us to the rest of the community. One can go down a thread and find a specific poster just by looking at the little pictures under the names. Sometimes, the picture even gives us an idea (albeit a false one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]) of what the poster looks like, because we see it so often. I can look at nothing but the little picture and know who's speaking. It's like having a face to go with the words. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
