I've never posted on a thread suggesting I'm fond of being pinged to your Russian bear.I don't remember PINGING you...I find that symbol to be a bit un-nerving...
...but I **did** share your concern, at least INITIALLY, with the "Soviet" appearance of that "O4P" bear logo.It grows on you, though -- so it doesn't bother me as much any more.
It must be that "Alaska/Russia" nexus thingie. :)
