Jock, I always appreciate your wisdom.

However, I think people get into trouble when they apply a rule developed for one circumstance ( one kilt, maybe two) to an entirely different mindset ( a closet full of them). Surely, if I want a single kilt and I have a real connection to one clan, I ought to wear that clan's tartan. But if I want ten kilts, I really ought to give up on ten yearning, burning strong associations. It's a little like the distinction between serial monogamy and promiscuity, isn't it?
