Yeah, I'm starting to think that this idea is doomed. I tried to float an idea to make something more inclusive and universal, and it sounds like people still have a lot of hurt feelings about this.

I don't understand why this forum is generally so heated as of late, and why this particular issue seems to bring out some rude behavior in otherwise civil posters.

But.. I really like the idea of an Xmarks standard roaming around. I'm personally against a quaich because it's traditionally used for whiskey. I think that the sentiment is right, but I think that a flat badge-type of standard would be easier to ship, and would only serve the purpose of a standard, not also a cup, flask, etc.

Then again, if people are going to be this reactive, then maybe the window for this type of unifying icon for our community has closed. That would, to me, be very sad.
