Matt, I think this is a good idea.

I am definitely no expert on tartans, because I am not involved in that field. And no way would I question your authority, as I am not educated enough to do so.

Some of your "observations" of Freemasonry are well off-base, for the same reason. How could you know, not being involved, right? But, as both a pastor and a Past Master of my Lodge, I can spot the errors in a heartbeat.

Methinks the thread about the tartan can be a good one, whilst the comments about the tenents of Freemasonry are best left to other forums. ;)
