I suffer from it at times. I'll open a thread on the DU and read the OP and some responses and all of a sudden someone contradicts themselves, a complete 180 to what they wrote up-thread.

Then I go back and check the names. Oh, it was a different person who just happens to use the same avatar as someone else!!

Do you suffer from AORS too sometimes?

at least as best I can remember. I make an automatic association between that image and Coventina. The Hillary Clinton avatars, on the other hand, were so numerous at one point that I had no choice but to ignore the picture and focus on the name.
