There was a similar mini-incident this past week with Washington Redskins avatars-- Teddman, Willco, HalfPastNoon, and Alex Anderson (and I think perhaps one other person) all had that same avatar. I was going batty, because avatar-skimming really helps me cut down on my reading time on GA; I just look for the avatars/names (whichever catches my eye first as I scroll down) of the folks whose posts I like to read. It really threw off my system.
