my apologies

don't know what happened there Lep. My apologies. Would'nt let me edit or cut anything.

It's ok, it f*cked the forum, as those long posts do, but when I went to edit just your post I managed to delete the whole thing...

cough

You ain't seen me, right?

well this is what I was trying to get across. The origin of the term avatar and how it came to be used by computer users.

Definition: [n] the manifestation of a Hindu deity (especially Vishnu) in human or
superhuman or animal form;
"the Buddha is considered an avatar of the god Vishnu"
a new personification of a familiar idea; "the embodiment of hope"; "the incarnation of evil";
"the very avatar of cunning"
Synonyms: embodiment, incarnation

See Also: deification, Hindu deity, Jagannath, Jagannatha, Jagganath, Juggernaut,
Kalki, Krishna, personification, Rama, reincarnation

Hope this one works.

OOoooh what did I miss?

Not much, just one of those posts (usually copied/pasted) where instead of running down the forums, it goes right across, and stretches the layout by like 5000000 million times.

So the submit button is way over there ---> and so on.

Meh, that's the browsers fault, don't know a way to fix it :/
