As was previously stated maybe he doesn't actually have one yet and decided to pick your avatar because he liked it Yes, but at least someone other than you likes it

but I would have thought the least he could do is drop you a PM and ask your permission to use it, just as a common courtesy!

Good for you, for stepping up like that and explaining.

Well, I might as well put a stop to mine being used too. Z06-Jim, please refrain from using my avatar in the future and while you're at it, bring my car back too.

Hi johncbourg -

Well - there is no copyright infringement, and no monetary gain or loss, no damages, no nothing from using your admittedly old avatar.

I would have pinged him and offered to make him up a nice avy and welcomed him to the forum.

In fact - I just did so.

best regards -
