Well,
I guess you learn something new every day...

Actually, the pic comes from an inside joke between me and some of the forum members. Some time back it was said (jokingly) that the moderator of this forum (me) ruled with an "iron fist". I felt that the Patton pic fit the joke perfectly.

I tend to switch avatars after a while, so I'm sure this one will be going away too at some point.

On a side note, I'm a HUGE WWII buff, actually a WWII aviation buff. If you want to know who my war hero is, its Pappy Boyington of the Black Sheep. I've got a signed picture of him hanging on my wall at this moment. I also have a group pic of the "Black Sheep" signed by Ed Harper.

Thanks for the info on Patton. While it goes against what the popular version of him is, it doesn't necessarily surprise me....
