First, one thing I would like to mention. "Old Guard", now would that be in relation to people that have been here longer than a couple years or just the moderators that were here before Steve became the owner of XMarks? Either way, I don't think the term really applies since people come and go for their own reasons.

OK, I like the idea of a log book for members to record where the item has traveled. Reading through the book reminds us of the many friends, past and present, that it has visited in friendship and allows us to add greatings and record the visit in our area.

Now, what to use as the token of friendship? If the log book is a standard size, maybe 8.5 x 11 inches, why not a piece of the X Marks The Scot tartan attached to the inside cover? How about a picture/drawing of the XMarks badge on the front cover? Maybe a dandilion (the clan plant) below it? I would say that most of us computer literate and a USB thumb drive version would be great but there are enough that aren't and, besides, it would look just plain wierd taking a picture of something that small.

Just my $0.02 US
