I'm a very sick man!
    I tell you, there isn't a 12-step program for kilt wearers, because we all enjoy our addiction. You will have to live with your condition. After you have gone through your initial phase of trying out various types of kilt, you will start to settle on what you like, sell a bunch of kilts (I admit, I have become a pusher) thus allowing others to become addicted without spending a lot of money.
    I'm now moving into the next phase. I have designed my own tartan and had it woven, and now I'm looking at replacing perfectly good kilts with the specific styles I like, and even considering custom weaves.
    Others get into actually making kilts; still others can't keep themselves from creating sporrans, bonnets and even sgian dubhs.

    Abandon all hope of normalicy, brother, we're doomed to nonconformity.

    FREEDOM!
    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.
