Gentlefolk: I have been participating in this forum for a bit over a year.

I would like to simply say "Thank you" to Steve Ashton for starting and managing the X-Marks-the-Scot forum (where to me X stands for "excellent"), and especially for his (and the moderators') efforts/ability to help us maintain a civil, useful, educational, and interesting dialog.

I would also like to thank all the participants for their knowledge, humor, advice, criticism, and especially ... pictures. I have learned a great deal on XMTS and have had a lot of fun contributing. There is no way I could have made the informed decisions I have about kilts and other Scottish attire without your help. I look forward to continued interaction with all of you.

Slainte!
