just don't show yourself at all? that seems very preferable to some avatar, to me. I don't need people to look at me, and I definitely don't want to pretend I'm someone I'm not. but maybe you're pretending you're someone you're not every day, and your avatar could be the you that you want to be? if so, absolutely go forth and avatar up! find ways to be yourself, always. lots of folks do that stuff, and that's awesome, but that kind of thing doesn't add anything that I look for in the things I spend my limited time on, is all.
