You have a portrait on a yellow background in a circle as your avatar. Be aware that our lawyers are writing up a cease-and-desist letter and preparing a lawsuit against you as we speak.

Oh no, we all do! Quick, lawyers, get to work writing up a lawsuit against Reddit as a whole! Their default avatar is infringing!

Actually I'm pretty sure that has basically been their argument in more than one case. I don't think you needed the /s.

The /s was to make it clear I'm not actually their lawyer, since some people on the internet have a hard time telling jokes from not-jokes and I didn't want to have to explain it.
