So what if everyone made generic icons? I think your idea only works because not everyone is doing it.

So what if everyone made generic replies to comments? I think your comment only works because not everyone is saying it. ;)

I can't tell if your wink means you are selflessly throwing yourself on the sword of self-deprecatingly irony to help me make my point, or if you actually believe what you are saying.

I think your argument is based on solid GUI design principles; for example, the continuum from abstract to realistic in icon design.

As you asked for feedback on your icon redesign, I think it could be easily be mistaken for a rotary dial phone, on first glance. Perhaps something that looks more like a film projector would avoid any ambiguity...

Guess a wink is not enough sometimes, was trying to re-enforce your point! Agree with you entirely.
