You would've gotten this before. It's not really unexpected for it to happen randomly - it just means that your server couldn't connect to Gravatar. It might just indicate that Gravatar was down or that your server had a minor connection issue with Gravatar. It doesn't break anything. The error is logged for the cases where it happens all the time (such as outbound connections being blocked).

Your right. Thanks!
