Interesting request. I can tell you that there are times when I am totally freaked out by people's choice of avatars that I ignore their posts or quickly pass it. Some give me the chills.

I purposely don't read any of those counters, because they all drive me nuts. IMHO, I think people should buy a calendar and keep the calendar near them at all times instead of having a counter that is only seen by them when they log into PC.

Just my opinion on those things in general.....
