Graham wrote elsewhwere, "Most here just think I'm strange and leave it there." That got me to thinking, aren't we all just a bit strange? And sure enough, a dictionary would find kilt wearing to be strange per 1 and 2 ( and 3 and 6 if you're not in the UK.) I personally pride myself on being a non-conformist. I also like to hang out here because you are all strange, in a positive and enlightening way. Thanks Hank, for bringing us together. P.S. I apologize if this has all been done before.
