I never dreamed of depriving the sponsors of business, but I didn't think that it was doing any harm by me making something for myself that they couldn't offer. I really wanted a pleather mini-kilt and because no one would make one, Alan H. just offered to help me learn to make one myself. No harm was ever intended.

I think that explains it all.

I'd also bet that if one looked for a little bit, you'd find no less than 100 sewing forums that would provide Dirka with everything needed to make a mini-kilt.

Everyone is making way too much of this. Yes, the folks who sponsor this site help to make it possible and it's appreciated by all who visit, but this is ridiculous... *shakes head in disgust*
