Well I was not suggesting to fully use the gravatar site itself
(although you can scale to whatever size you wish for your avatar
using &size=n), I think they recognize anything > 80px to not be an
"avatar" ... your question dealt w/ the security of such images + the
technique w/ the MD5 hash of email address link to an image path was
more the idea.
There actually is an excellent library if you want to roll your
own ... http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net. It includes this hashing
mechanism already.

Hello Jon,
A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an 80×80
pixel avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing
beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites.
Avatars help identify your posts on web forums, so why not on weblogs?
Not exactly what Im looking for. In fact, this has external
dependencies on the gravatar.com site.
Thanks anyways.
