    I'll have to go with dualist, but I think that the poll is a little narrow. Does modernist mean materials or construction? A USAK could certainly could be considered a modern from a materials point of view, but the semi-trad is certainly aimed at the traditional market, and follows those construction techniques, just using a different material. Conversely, a UK is certainly a modern kilt in both materials and styling, but someone could create a UK with a tartan pattern. What is the decision point then? I think that the lines are blurred, and without a discrete definition, the poll will of necessity end up at a mid-point.

    And that is not meant to belittle the poll, I would like to know the split as well. I just think that we need to first come to an understanding of what we mean by the terms (right after we decide if a kilt is a skirt or not!), then we can vote appropriately.

    Nahhh, you got right idea... but the purpose wasn't to micro-analyze all the various permutations, but only to indicate generaly basic demographics. I think keeping it simple was the best approach.
