Yet there is a hook in the looped image fetch (reputation_image) which is called for every pip rather than just once per post. I know which would be more useful to me, and much less overhead. I wonder if anyone uses the reputation_image hook.

(fyi the bodge I referred to for my hack uses that hook plus the template change simply because it's all I can use, it would be far better to have one hook at the end of the function)
