I certainly appreciate Ben's efforts, and I certainly don't think my avatar is appropriate for anything but a good laugh.
Before everyone jumps on board with the fist and lightning bolt, I hope everyone is aware of certain similarities to a controversial political symbol.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, especially Ben who I respect greatly. Unfortunatly there is little doubt that some people will take great offense at the similarity and potential symbolism of the particular logo being proposed. We should be trying to rally everyone of every political persuasion to EV's, not associate EV's with controversial political statements.
Just my opinion, of course.
