No need to over stress yourself, Marlin47, my message was as follows:
I was just thinking that at present you've not got an avatar. I thought this might suit
If you're having any tech problems, then Cyrus is the person to ask. |
I thank you for your concern in believing me to be stressed. May I assure you that I wasn't.
I was more concerned that someone had sent me a private message and that I appeared to be ignoring it
That would have been bad manners, so I am pleased that it has now been resolved.
Regrettably, I did not previously know what an avatar was. Thanks to you, my friend, I do now. As to whether or not I would presume to have the great Iron Duke as my avatar,that is quite a horse of a different colour.
Had I not recently renewed contact with my old regiment ( regrettably disbanded in 1993 ) , I may well habut hidden the Duke as an avatar, but having now raised my head above the parapet once more, I daren't purport to be even vaguely connected with the great man.
Perhaps Sir Harry Flashman may be more suitable, methinks ? Amongst other things he was a cad and a bounder ; characters I may more suitably identify with, don't you think ? Incidentally, on the subject of my renewing contact with my old regiment, and being a cad and a bounder - more to follow !
