We were pretty sure that General James Longstreet died 104 years ago, but a few weeks ago the “Old War Horse” mysteriously came back to life and began posting comments here on FITS.
We know, pretty insane.
Since then, the General has become one of our cleverest, most popular commenters, peppering his remarks with humorous witticisms and wistful reminisces – all delivered in his distinctive Nineteenth Century phraseology.
The General also has what’s known as a “Gravatar,” which is a way of making his comments stand out a bit.
What is a “Gravatar?” Well, it’s a picture that goes with your comments, basically. Something to put in that little box next to your ingenuous missive …
To get one yourself, visit Gravatar.com, sign up (it’s free), add any image you want (even a granny one) and let’r rip.
Simply use whatever email you signed up for on Gravatar.com each time you visit FITS and, as John Madden says, boom! The image you picked will pop up next to your comment.
Plus, you can change your Gravatar whenever you want!
Be like Longstreet, people.
Or as he says, “demand satisfaction!”

Mr. BIN,
Then have a child help you, sir.

Exactly. Why a South Carolinian would choose that traitor for a nom de plume tells me something about the “General.”

Sid,

Will… you are doing a great service for the people of South Carolina. Sorta what I once thought newspapers would do.
By sid January 8, 2009 at 12:21 pm
Thanks for the friendly advise, CL. You seem more like one of the homos than a big toe, but maybe you’ll get there one of these days.

It’s so much more fun to have some personality by those comments. Maybe BIN can sign up for this photo on his or her gravatar?

FITSGals, I’d be willin’ to bet the boiled p-nut farm that BIN is not invisible.
But your suggested gravatar would allow him/her some anonymity while becoming not-so-elusive around here. BIN, you always tell Sic One that you don’t have time to keep checking up on him and all. But then, actually, you always find it. Do you or don’t you have time to play with us?
Come on BIN — show thyself — or thy slogan — or something warm and fuzzy for us to buddy-up to.
:)
