I use what's new but I also check where I'm writing. Regardless, people should be able to ask a question in a particular context. That's the reason we have sub-forums. I like the categories that Taskr referred to in Post #1 but, more broadly, regardless of how we organize the site, I'd like the persecution of traditionally minded people and threads to stop. This should be an open space for all lovers of the kilt and conversations about how people in the land of the kilt view kilt fashion should not be verboten. It is up to the person asking the question, who's advice they wish to take but having sub-forums allows us to organize things better.
Can we make everyone pay attention to top of their window and read the sub-forum before typing in a post? Probably not. But it has been an effective way up till now of focusing conversations without requiring the OP to state:
"only people with this perspective answer".
That would be an unreasonable request in the General Kilt Talk section IMHO.
The new categories are inadequate. They speak to WHY someone wears a kilt but not HOW someone chooses to wear the kilt. If I am a Chinese guy who wants to make a non-conformist statement and wear a kilt daily, I still might want to wear it in a traditional fashion every day as part of that statement. The why is interesting, but the HOW is what we're here to learn.
