Little red flower?

[Inkognito]

Hi.
This may seem like a stupid question to some of you but i have noticed quite a few users have a little red flower in their avatar.
First one i noticed was The Don and i was wondering for the longest time why he had a flower there.
Then i noticed more and more people with this same flower in their avatars so my question is this:
What does it mean?

Surely it's not just there because it's a pretty flower?

If you need to ask you don't need to know.

You must forgive some of our veteran posters, Twosock ...

They're a little stressed at the current level of inanity shown by newbies on this forum, given that the average age (and mentality) of newbies is 15 years old, mostly illiterate, and complete with chronic lip-spittle whenever they see anything resembling a female not fully dressed from head to foot.

Many frustrated British people could find it entirely probable that in modern UK society, jaded British youths of such an age really may have no idea of the reason or significance of a red poppy, and indeed, of Remembrance Day.

This being because they may have had the sort of upbringing in which no members of their families have been engaged in any sort of State of Conflict other than on an Xbox or in council estate-wars (for which poppies are not yet, thankfully, a recognisable symbol of remembrance).

Possibly, several posters in this thread assumed that you, being relatively new, were One of Those sort of newbs.

But what a happy discovery that you are not.

Apologies for my short reply, I hadn't realised you weren't British. I'm of the same mind as Bonny in that I'd be slightly disappointed if someone from this country were unable to recognize the rememberance day poppy if it were shown to them. Such is the way this country seems to be headed however

Don't worry about it. It happens

[Mr Nice Guy]

I can't remember seeing anyone with a poppy as an avatar???

At first, I laughed as I thought he meant the little red x
