The original point of this post was because the original poster of another thread was insulted (by another individual poster) for asking a question regarding Irish kilts. I intend this to be a show of force that this would not be tolerated by the general membership and asked that this thread to be immediatly shut down should it turn political (not that the Mhis ods need my permission).

Well somewhere along the way an intelligent and respectful discussion broke out. Not too surprising with the calibre of our membership. I hope that the OP from the other thread is following this thread and is appreciating the wealth of information coming out and that we didn't lose him. by all means continue gentlemen as I really don't have anything to contribute to this topic I am learning from it.

Just an aside to O'Callaghan I do have dual citizenship I carry a British passport and (dont currently but) can carry a Canadian passport as both my parents do. They used to use their British passports traveling back to England and their Canadian re-entering Canada (to speed through respective customs). I don't know if my children will be eligble for UK citizenship being first generation Canadian born.
