It's all good. I think maybe I hadn't had enough coffee when I read your post, and I overreacted a little. Doesn't change how I feel about it, but I could have been more polite in my response.

You know, all of this talk about hand placement has really made me try to think about what I've been doing. Hands clasped behind my back is my usual stance when kilted, if I'm not actually using my hands. But I also occasionally hook my right thumb in my lower hip buckle strap, sort of like hooking one's thumb through a belt loop (which is still done in Texas, though I don't know if it's common elsewhere).
