You mean Bear,the guy that spends all day building kilts in a store with no computer or internet connection. The guy that orders each fabric as he receives orders for it, so that he is never out of stock of the tartan that you want. That same guy that comes home from that store and spends time with his wife and kids, then replys to his emails, and then hops on the forums to answer questions about his business and have a bit of fun too. The same guy that can only join his buddies for a pint one night a month, due to his busy schedule.

No, I didn't think you were talking about that guy! :x
Colin,
Thanks for the defense. I don't know that JohnAllen meant any insult but it's nice to have someone stand up for you just the same. I think he meant he liked having me, as a kiltmaker, post.

JohnAllen,
My time posting here is now after I get home from work, so there's no time taken away from kiltmaking. This forum is one of the reasons I didn't want a computer at work. No distractions.
My store is a tiny place, mostly filled with tables on which to make kilts. I haven't even had time to set up displays for accessories, yet. They're just hanging off whatever protuberances I can find. The main reason for the store is to get caught up on the orders.

One more thing. I don't post that often. I was number 4 to sign up for XMarks. I'm number 12 as far as number of posts, with some frequent posters gaining fast. I think I'm posting less of late because I don't have access to my computer all day.
