I can guarantee you that I never uploaded an Avatar to this website at any time in my sojourn here.
I do recall that - 2 or 3 years ago - the "system" applied this avatar to me, in the same manner that the "Secret Santa" participants get this added.
This is some hark-back to some automatic FT-side decision made many, many years ago, as a result of voting in some distant and now long-forgotten poll (the FT Awards from many years ago, which I stopped participating in when they kept asking us, annually, to rank "TAROM Flying Blue" differently from "Kenya Airways Flying Blue" from "Air France Flying Blue", etc etc etc...)
I see that others have similarly "voted" as a result of this change....even in this very thread...
(Reminds me of that old [Russian hacker?] adage - remember to vote early, and vote often!!!)
