Why Does an Envelope with a Black Dot Appear When I Post?

[havechanged]

Why is it that, whenever I post something, the icon on the side is an envelope with a black dot in the middle?!? It looks like I don't want it to be answered!?? Does it have to do with that I am fairly new?

Thanks!

It just indicates that the post is one in which you've posted. Log on as someone else, and it will go away.

Helpful for scanning through lists of topics to see where your ongoing discussions are.

But don't do that. Be yourself, not a "sock puppet".
