Hi Paul!

I did it for my own account.

Not sure if attachments work on the mailing list, hang on...

Here's a screenshot of my Google / Gmail with no profile photo (slightly 
redacted):

Now, I just noticed something unusual in that image.  Am I signed in to 
TWO accounts?  ("Sign out of all accounts" is an option).

If so, I imagine it was just to check settings of parents' account 
trying to resolve this weird phenomenon, otherwise I rarely monitor it.
