I think you guys missed the point of my post, I know I have a myriad of options, that is why it is difficult to pick just one. I was trying to explain why, perhaps, some people pick many different ones. It would seem my rhetorical questions were not quite rhetorical enough ;-)}. Again, for myself, with many linkages broken and rediscovered, it is very tempting to tie into everything. Because of Pride in Clan? I don't know, I really don't know what that would mean or feel like.
I suspect it is an America vs Scotland thing. We will never truly understand why the other does what it does, because we aren't them.
C'est La Vie.
