| | | | | <massive snip> Even though I think that the avatars are a waste and should some how be limited on Brickshelf, your post made a lot of sense.

My question here would be whether folks would forget to check that the upload is significant on the one hand, and if folks would mark their avatars and other relatively non-interesting pictures as significant?
