Nick: Thank you. I appreciate your generous offer, but I suspect you have more than enough on your plate.

Also, I have a good relationship with my "retailer" and am confident they are keeping my best interests at heart. If they ever feel the need to escalate the matter, I'm sure they will do so.

And, when my family finally dons the kilts associated with this transaction, the waiting time and associated Jonesing will have served to bind us even closer to the heirlooms created for us by the Scottish weaving industry and kilt-making craftsmen, ... as long as it doesn't stretch into years.
