I think it's throwing off the outline structure and making the board difficult to read. I would suggest including your picture only at the top of a new thread, since it is boxed and it is very clear who is who. I may experiment with a full-blown table structure for the page. I won't remove the html functionality, but I would request everyone use it most judiciously.

I don't think Curt was being malicious by using my picture. If you read his message, it's clear that he wasn't trying to confuse anyone into thinking the post was actually made by me. He was pretending to me as rhetorical device and the picture was just part of that. But yes, the possibility of confusion is huge.
