Who Belongs to the Clan?

[BCAC]

Because though the twa gentlemen have, I assume, accurately stated the "letter of the law," it does not IN MY OPINION give an accurate picture of the reality of how things are working with the so called "clans" IN MY OWN EXPERIENCE. So while the "letter of the law" is technically true, the "spirit of the law" is what is the reality, more or less anyway and if I've not misused that analogy... I'm certainly not a lawyer. You are of course most welcome to disagree, but without a case study to the contrary I'm not moved by your statement to change my opinion (if that was your aim...?).

So, basically, Wesley, what you are saying is in "the spirit of the law" (i.e. what is the reality IN YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE), I am not a member of my clan association so therefore I'm either not a clansman, or maybe a lesser clansman than he who is a member of said association?

I think perhaps we shall have to agree to disagree on this one.
