    I'm all for ANYTHING unbifurcated for men...FREEDOM is contagious.

    I guess I "care" because I'd like to be kilted without having to answer so many inane questions...just be accepted. I cannot help but see the parallel to the days when women wearing pant suits to the office was considered unacceptable and strange, but bold women persevered until pants were, and remain, accepted for women.

    And I'm with Frank. This board has talked about most everything there is to talk about yet we still have enthusiastic newcomers arriving every day. In real life we don't "not" talk about a subject because we talked about it once before. Same thing on this board. If folks wanna talk, let them talk. Sad to see enthusiasm dashed with the Search Function.

    Tell you what. I've often known an old post I was looking for and have had to spend a LOT of time being creative with my search words to bring it up. A more daunting task for a newcomer to the board.

    Me, I enjoy newcomer enthusiasm. It keeps the board juicy for me. And...who knows what new board members since the last thread have to contribute?

    It's nice that it gets a fresh start though, not like the 210 page do/don't thread...

    The problem is... they're just NOT very flattering. Grunge is long gone, and kilted grunge never was as far as I know. So what's the point? Look at the Real McKenzies. Punk Celtic band in kilts well above the ankles
