Hi, All. Since A.) we do not seem to have enough subject matters in this ebay group (yes, said with some facetiousness! 😉 ), and B.) there did not seem to be an appropriate discussion thread (aside from "Chat"), and C.) due to my failed search for a "Happy Face" thread - which I thought had been created by Kristjan, I thought that creating a new thread would be appropriate, n'est pas? :-) Maybe we could start out with any possible discussion about that new picture of a person on the CPE1991 icon??? Did that new pic come up within the last day or two? Or am I just a little slow? (I myself tend to like to hide behind masks...) John, VT.

Guy, come visit me in Vermont. I'll start the woodstove... getting the place toasty warm. Hot tea? Hot chocolate? We'll set up the chess set (your choice of set) for a leisurely, untimed game. BTW, and you think my postings are long? You have no idea!) 😉 John. (I'll even let you win.) 😉

Hmmm.... Speaking of icons/avatars.... (Oh, were we? Cabin fever's gone amuck...!)

It seems like most of you/us have avatars back up after some type of changeover a ways back in time. Just call me Johnny Come Lately. Good thing I have some nebulous company in the form of an invisible Ty...!

So, lookin' a little at some of your avatars.... I cannot quite make up what that is a picture of, Keith. Can you fill us in?

We do see the usual (or changing) ones - like that of Duncan and Guy. (BTW, Guy.... yes.... YOU...! 😉 .... As for you, my good man.... your pussycat of a picture is misleading. You are certainly playing like the Lyon you are.... in the process of beating me in our current game of chess - once again, paws down, sortaspeak! I admire your chess playing ability....!

Now, as for our other friend, Clay.... that must be one humongous chess set you have there. Tell me.... just what chess piece does that white car behind you represent?

Signing off, still incognito for now.... John the Phantom.

It's a photo of a sprayed painting on a metal door on a very minor canal in Venice. It looked crude and indecipherable - until I got to a specific angle to it and then that image 'popped out'. I loved it.
