I like to change mine about once or twice a week just to keep people honest who think they have formed an opinion of me based upon a picture. It seems to work well and I would suggest some others try it as well.
I understand your point, especially with regard to ease of user identification. But, what is one to do when someone else commandeers one's avatar? This has happened to me recently, so I sorta want to change mine. (I hold no ill-will toward the other party BTW - it is one cool avatar!).
Edited to add: I recently included a signature photo so that I know who I am.
I got a lot of flack for the Andy Capp, and I never really understood it. The guy had a classic comic strip, was a drunk, beat his wife, and makes a delicious spicy snack food. What more could you ask for from a guy?
And when I noticed that you had switched, I picked it up for a second tour as my av. Of all the Aaron images I've uploaded, I think this one is my favorite.

<< <i>I was just thinking the same thing. Funny how you start to just associate people to the avatar instead of the name. >>

I think of him in a much less fond way, but as far as his icon, I agree with you.
I agreed.

Since you're not married, somebody has to.
<< <i>It was brought up to me that my avatar of Griffey in a Reds uniform wasn't really appropriate anymore.
I agreed. >>
What throws me off about yours it it looks like a green background...on a Reds logo? For some reason everytime I see your avatar I think of Green Bay

Edit to say, looks like a match. I get the prize for most unimportant sports pictures related research of the day.
