Is it confusing when more than one person uses an icon ?

If you see a certain icon do you think of a certain person? So if somebody else uses it too do you get those people confused or do you just look at their user name instead? I'm just wondering.

I changed the title because I think people think I was complaining about other people using my icon. I was wondering if other people get confused like i do when more than one person uses the same one.

I put my name in my icon to discourage others from using it.

Maybe they could do something like "being used" next to an icon when somebody is using it then people know.

Might work sometimes. But I think a new member might not realize what that means and even that people upload their own periodically, that it just isn't some pool of random icons to choose from.

I think it's kind of flattering, personally!

That's the first one that has actually confused me, I keep thinking it's Mark when I see that, even though it has been modified so it is different from Mark's.
So did I! Make something original Sam...so no one else can use it!
many people would confuse us as he has a very different writing style!
Ken
speaking of which....Mark tell us where you thought the icon up etc...
There are actually three very logical icons now.

Now when those boneheads in public office decide to raise my taxes (property/school/paycheck/S.S./state/Fed/local/sales/investment/ DEATH etc etc) then I get a little worked up.

I tried shrinking it in Photoshop so you could upload it as an icon, but for some reason it keeps distorting the image. Maybe someone on here can shrink it better for you???

Hey now, that looks a lot like the old man's.

I second that.
So what they need is a pool of random icons to choose from... None that are being used or have been used... Better yet, you get a little red box until you upload an new avatar.. except me and others grandfathered in because well.... Go braves!

It doesn't bither me, its just confusing sometimes and I was wondering about it.
I didn't know there were so many Mr. Spock's out there!

How does one upload a different icon? I can't find out how to do this through help.

I also think this. It is kind of like looking for a book by a certain author just to find out someone else is using the same name. There are usually law suits over this kind of thing.
Also someone is using the same icon I am and it gets confusing when I see posts I did not write.
Mgoodm3- what exactly IS your icon?
I've always wondered, and have thought it reminds me of a ghost...

Once you load an icon in to the system anyone can use it without your permission.
There is no such thing as "my" icon.
If you have loaded a pic of yourself and want it out of the system, let me know.

Thanks, I just think it gets confusing. Like when you read through a thread and see the icon I don't always read the name under it so I think of a certain person when I see a certain icon. that's all. I'm glad there are more vulcans. Maybe there won't be so many emotional out bursts in the future.

Me too ... ocassionally I see my dime and think I wrote something I forgot about ...
also, sometimes I associate a name with an icon such that I don't check to see if that IS the person who's post I'm reading
