Missed opportunity to speak of TITLES

[Jock Scot]

Ghostlight.

It appears that you may have missed my point. No matter and perhaps I should have been more clear with my thoughts. Your point of view is absolutely respected by me and in many ways I agree with you. However, I for one don't just visit this site to just talk about kilts, actually after a week of kilt talking there really is little else to say!

Yes, I enjoy helping others get themselves sorted out with kilt matters if that is what is wanted, yes I do still find things to learn, or re learn, no I do not need to come here to get kilt and kilt attire recommendations, no I don't come here with the intention of buying something, I mainly come here for some light hearted fun with like minded people and I am comfortable with the surroundings and people here. If the light hearted part ceases, then I will not have the fun that I have had and in the end I will not visit here.

Now that is not a threat, I am just one person amongst the many and life will carry on with, or without me, but I like it here and I want to stay and I would like the fun to be kept alive and I really do think that the "special titles" do add something to this website. As it has been pointed out, these titles do not make you an expert, they do not make you any better, richer, cleverer, poorer than anyone else(hence my first two questions on my previous post), it is just a recognition that certain people have contributed to the very special character of this website, nothing more.

It may take 500 posts,4000 posts, or 50 posts, or never, to warrant recognition for a genuine contribution above and beyond-------, that is up to whoever decides these things and the trust that we all give them. As we all know handing out "pats on the back" for contributing little or nothing is valueless and pointless. Recognition in the tongue in cheek way that some of us, I think, are asking Steve to consider, are for real effort and can only create goodwill and may reinstate some of the fun that is sadly hard to find, in places, here at the moment. Basically its a morale thing. Life will go on with or without these things, but without them, in my humble opinion, we are in a lesser place.
