Reality Check

[Streetcar]

I can see KiltedGnome's point about implying Kathy Lare is "..the only properly trained kilt maker in the U.S." But for what it's worth (as someone who doesn't make kilts) I never had that impression from your posts.

Sometimes it is easy to find unintentional meaning in subjects we are deeply involved in.

Ron - your posts are among the interesting and entertaining posts on this forum. I too own several Kathy Lare kilts and enjoy them very much.

A post that celebrates the work of another in the form of a review is difficult to compose without sounding like an advertisement. The forum rules say something about that - reviews can't be de facto advertisements.

When a poster says "I want a cheap kilt," and you reply (with something like) "Save your pennies and buy an expensive kilt from Kathy Lare," some readers might think you're stretching the rules. They know many people can't - or won't - afford the spending discretion you advise. But I think you're offering good advice about quality with some exuberance directed towards your favorite kilt maker.

A PM about this? Nah . . . keep it to yourself friend. You, Ron, are who you are, exuberance and all.
