I'm just curious why you wouldn't let someone who makes kilts be a sponsor. Would you see it as a conflict of iterests? You don't want to seem to show more support for one kind of kilt than the other?

It seems to me that having sponsors be kiltmakers would make sense. If we are here we are interested in kilts and would be more likely to go to sponsors sites if they were sites that sell kilts.

Or maybe you don't want this forum to come off as an internet infomercial for kilts... I could understand that.

Anyway, having sponsors is preferable to having a fee to be a member.
