"Internet turns Scottish clans into global tribe"

[davedove]

Interesting thought indeed. I'm seeing myself as the first internet Chieftain of the first internet Clan... Voting won't be necessary, just confirm your allegience to me .

*Legend had it the that the League was founded by none other than the most virtuous of the knights of the Round Table, Sir Galahad himself! Originally based in Cornwall, the five original tenants of the order were Chastity, Sobriety, Honor, Courtesy, and Good Fellowship. The order existed for centuries in Cornwall until the reign of Henry the Eighth. The King (who is most remembered as a ruler who seldom believed in moderation of any sort) disapproved of the League on general principle. His efforts to destroy the League drove the Order to secrecy and they fled to the highlands of Scotland. There they flourished. Many a famous Scot were counted as members including the poet Robert Burns. By odd coincidence it should be noted that during the time of Burns’ membership in the League that the tenants of Chastity and Sobriety were formally rejected. The League of the Moderators spread to the Americas and there prospered. By the by, the bit about the shrimps was completely correct.

As the direct descendant of the heir of Sir Galahad, I hereby reject your claim.

Furthermore, as the sole heir to the League, I hereby release my own claim as Chief and bestow ownership of X Marks the Scot to it's members, that all may enjoy its halls as equal clan members.
