[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AVATAR

Posted: 2/20/2004 5:17:51 PM EDT

avatar \AV-uh-tar\, noun:
1. The incarnation of a deity -- chiefly associated in
Hinduism with the incarnations of Vishnu.
2. An embodiment, as of a quality, concept, philosophy, or
tradition; an archetype.
3. A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity.

Anybody care to explain how the little image on the upper left hand side of the post became refered to as the "AVATAR"?
