Is he saying the discussion of how in the hell he got his custom title would be, like, totally episcopal? If so, what does this mean? Is it better than saying something is just soooooooo Presbyterian!
Or is he asking for Episcopal as his custom title?

As it is now, you may think you know who posted something, only to have it contradict what that person usually would say, forcing you to back track only to see it was somebody else with the same avatar. Bloody annoying.
I may of course very well be the only one who thinks this, so feel free to ignore...

Once I saw a page with 5 replies in a row with the same generic avatar.

I'm aware that many forums provide generic avatars to choose from, but that doesn't make it a good idea. The thing is, that a graphic presentation of 'who's talking' is a fast way to recognize who's who. With generic avatars it's like watching a bunch of clones talking, forcing you to check their name tag at every turn.

Finally, how's the nuking of the generic avatars comming along?

The mods have already said they would tackle this but there are much bigger/more important issues they will deal with first.
