First thing, BobP great post. 2nd thing, yes I know I can turn off avatars, navigate around the home page, etc. (Done and done BTW.) But, if 9 out of 10 of you have cool avatars I'd like to have seen, or 9 out of 10 of you have harmless photos of selves/ guitars that would have made the place more familiar and fun, I lose. Not much, granted, but I lose. 3rd thing, re judgement calls, we all make em and we hope when we do that we are well-informed. For instance, a judgement call tells me its OK to occasionally check out a guitar forum at work. Another judgement call tells me to NEVER peruse girly photos at work. Question that arises: am I properly informed that this is a guitar forum? 4th thing, its not really all that important in the grand scheme, sometimes you just want to type something. If I wind up with too many breasts in my cookie jar I'll just find some other light reading...

Obviously its not the end of the world either way, just seems like the big pics on the home page are especially intrusive.

The HFC is getting smaller and smaller for those of us who like to check in occasionally during our work day. Or, I imagine, those who check in whilst their young'ens are running about. I turned off the avatars. I've accepted that I can't read anything on the Outer Circle. Blindness in one eye reminds me to open posts by EAPoe with caution. But today I got an eyeful of tatas on the friggin' *home page*. Tonejunkee, you're very pretty but put some clothes on for chrissakes. So it had been a fun couple of weeks of seeing what y'all look like, but now that luxury is lost to me as well. Look folks, I dig rock & roll deviation as well or better than anyone, but one luxury of the Outer Circle's existence *should* be that I don't have to feel like a pervert just because I'm curious about somebody's latest custom order. Whether the pics are appropriate is up to debate, but I'm pretty sure your girfriend's assets are off-topic. Can't we play show & tell on the Outer Circle? Or I'll just bugger off. Whatever...
