Avatar: A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity

I think the temporary manifestation idea is the reason. The avatar is a manifestation of how we wish our net-persona to be represented. I'm sure the pschoanalysts among us have a field day analysing some of the avatars on here. lol :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
