There you go Retro!! I got it the same way as you x where is your old avatar?

Of course. Thank you. Easy when the answer is provided. :-)

I am no longer allowed an Avatar. I have been defrocked and denuded.

[Sipowicz]

For ever?

[MargoTester]

Oh Retro -bit petty IMO x

[retrocop]

I am not sure. No one tells me anything. I did ask for my old Avatar to be reinstated (Lou) but my request was removed from the thread by someone.

Margo
My thoughts as well. Especially as it was not too dissimilar to another poster's Avatar.!!! Perhaps a bring back Lou campaign could be started. :-)xx
