This would be why my question that I posted earlier to start this trend was NOT redundant, as I was told by the moderators. Oh well. :P
In support of Cak, though I’m not entirely sure how it started out being orange, over on Askville many people have orange avatars or change to orange avatars when she’s going through something particularly nasty. Orange is a healing color, but I’m not sure if that’s just a coincidence or if that’s why it was chosen. Its a way to show that we’re thinking about her and supporting her in her rough times. I transplanted the tradition over here today. :)
