Joefish – Glad you stopped by! I’m a bit disillusioned by the whole Gravatar thing, and so not that hot to dive right back in. I don’t have any training in server management or programming, but the problems at gravatar.com seem to have been going on far too long, and I’ve lost confidence. I’m grateful to anyone who tries to do something (like Gravatar) as a public service, but as you say, there is an ever-increasing level of suck, and it hurts those of us who run our own blogs on shared hosts. If you read my original posts on this subject, you know that I was enthusiastic about the idea at one time. Not so much now. But thanks for the pointer. Once I see that Gravatar is running smoothly, I’ll try the G2 plugin.

Caravana Basura – In fact this is the only problem in life I have ever encountered that has a solution. Most just have workarounds. So don’t feel guilty about your inaction.

It didn’t occur to me that there could be a REASON for a problem and an ACTUAL SOLUTION to that problem.

You have destroyed my faith in entropy, my comfort with chaos, and my acceptance of the general decline of all that was good.

Now I feel compelled to find some actual solutuion in my own life. Damn you!

And don’t worry, even though I seem to go AWOL occasionally, I won’t leave you. You’ll have to carry me out of the Revision99 doors kicking and screaming to get rid of me.

This is much better.
