Thanks. I may have been a little hasty as well as testy and I may have been unclear in my frustration.

My points were two:
1) there is no use in reinventing the conversational wheel/ ploughing the same furrow every few weeks, and
2) the ghillie brogue is either the height of invented tradition or the height of actual tradition, but nobody has been convinced to change his opinion about it in years.

I enjoy discussing traditional highland dress and even broader matters that are tangential to it, such as formalwear and formal occasions, highland games, ladies' outfits, etc. I just get tired of the same old thing with a lot of air whipped into it. When I first joined the forum, a wise person suggested that I use the search feature to aid in my inquiry. No better advice was ever given.

As for new topics, please see the thread I posted about lightweight jackets that look like traditional tweed. I do not want to tread on anyone's right to discuss anything, or to suggest self-censorship. I just want a little less repetition and a little more novelty.
Thanks
