I get confused with Paul McGann all the time. Well, an older, fatter, uglier version of Paul McGann anyway.   

And to answer the question, if the avatar is a picture of a person, then yes. If it's a picture of a rock, a horse, a cow, a dog, a cat, etc., then no.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Most definitely.

And it particularly throws me off when people change their avatars, because I sometimes don't know their names. Shocked

So. Is it a Yes? Tongue

Speaking of avatars: It's come to my attention that I have one of those that never changes. I'm not sure if someone with the power to do so at some point decided it was funny to have this showing next to my reviews:

LOL
If you search my handle, then that's the picture showing next to my reviews. 
That cover art reminds me of myself......a lot and in so many different ways.
