People who strongly believe kilts should only be worn by highlanders in the highlands do drop in now and then but are usually shown the door pretty quickly.

You mean those nasty little youtube clowns who offend every Yank who wears a kilt and claim that a "real" kilt is made of worsted wool and tartan? I don't even think those guys are real scotsman, cuz they usually don't answer the question if they like haggis.

Okay guys; considering that there's been a lot of red faces and angry words, I note the smiley / laughy face and take that to mean that you're not going to be nasty.

I buy that.

I also want you all to consider this to be a small to medium calibre shot across the bow.

Stay cool and play nice. I think from the pleasantly worded stuff that most of you recognize that this could go sour. Let's not.

Thanks much!
