#4The moral is, don't reuse avatars.

#5The moral is, don't reuse avatars.
IMO the real moral is any information that is repeated on the public web can be linked.
The fact that images are used here is pretty much irrelevant, the same process holds true for reusing the same textual name or 'handle' or even reusing the same set of small bits of information of sufficient uniqueness to "fingerprint" you (say, 'list of favorite movies plus zip code' or whatever).
