Erm.. I have noticed the eyes only recently, and I don't know what-all they're they're for! They seem to be only alongside the most recent postings.. Yes. they're creepy, but I am always here in the middle of the day (I can imagine they'd be *really* freaky in the centre of the night..) I reserve judgement - what are some alternate suggestions?

In that case, I see that *I* am on-line! Great idea, actually, though I see the point about thewm creeping people out. I like their purpose..

Della - You can always join us at A876648 and celebrate the eyes!
Greydesk - But you can always just say that you left your PC on...people don't necessarily know *WHERE* you are lurking...

Della, POO is campaigning for the choice to replace your personal eyes with another icon. One suggestion was having a smiley list to pick from.
Join POO and advocate freedom.
Join WEE and support fascism.
Simple really

POO are eye slaughterers.

It han't even occured to me. The death of lurking. I definately should be optional.

But that *apparently* isn't what POO is campaigning for - just an optional symbol. All based on paranoia y'see...
