I just got tired of all the posturing and baiting that went on with that list. Officially I'm still on it, so as to make posts about Kilt Nights, etc. But I never just go and read it. I'm a person who really likes my lists, forums, etc. to be on topic. That's why I keep coming back to XMarks.

I fervently agree. When XMTS was down Monday I lurked over there. While there are a lot of enthusiastic members, there was a tone of confrontation between a number of posters that put me off. I participate here to learn as much as I can, share what little I know, and conjecture freely (identified as such). While some of the Bravehearts characterize XMTS as conservative and trad-kilt-oriented, my experience is that it is a wide open and accepting forum for people interested in all aspects of kilted life. (stepping down now from soap box).

We have a group of members here that understand respect. I say, "Rules are made to be obeyed. AND When appropriate, Tested."
In this forum, it is better to read, become informed, post relevant to threads and if a test seems needed, I'll READ FIRST the FAQ's and Rules. Then I can try a PM to an Admin or Mod. They'll give me a straight forward reponse and I'll then know if I'm still in bounds or headed for the penalty box. And we'll still be friends. Then I can search the old threads for information relevant to my quetion. It aint always necessary to resurrect an oldie. But, sometimes it's fun to freshen up a good topic in a cooled off thread.
oops... I found myself up on your soapbox! Kinda slippery. Think I'll stay off it now!
