Ave, Alex! Qui aliquando morituri te salutant! :salut:

... or is that ...

Cum omnibus deficio, ludere mortuus!

I like the picture, and I like the picture more now that it has become part of 1984, like like like.

Haha! I agree with you! Makes it fun to think about 1984 being on this website! :D

Why not personally confront him, as opposed to starting a thread about it? He may not have been aware that people would perceive this as egotistical. He doesn't gain NT insight simply because he runs this place.

Ditto. On the very rare occasions I access the site with IE it looks quite a mess with stuff all over the place. I also block the alien at the top of the page (or is that Alex's photo? :scratch: ) and that drop down menu thingy and various other irritations.

I can't see any of those. I've been using Firefox with add-ons for years and didn't realise how bad things got over time, even the email page is full of crap jumping at you. Last time I opened the internet with IE I almost had a heart attack :lol:

I know this is weird, but the only reason the pictures bothers me on occasion is that Alex looks a lot like my cousin who passed away about 6 years ago and I always think of him when I see those pictures all over the site.

OK, so just use AdBlock to block the pictures, as several people have already said they do. (I do as well.)

Not sure if you were talking to me, It doesn't bother me enough to block the picture I just found it to be interesting, I don't mind being reminded of him to be honest I just thought it was and odd coincidence.
