Elitism sucks, we dont need it here. I dont mean this as a flame Cerek, just posting my postition on the issue
Im not saying you are wrong here....I just do not understand why it is called "elitism" to let people who are comitted financially to have personalized avatars?? They get no special powers or rights or access to special places....just a picture.

EDIT: Gratitude and /or appreciation would seem to apply more properly to me....
[/QUOTE]That's what I was getting at. How is it elitist? What's the big deal?

But whatever. I have no quarrel with either the Epster or the Intoxoboofhead [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
