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

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.
