    The basis of "By Choice, not Blood" was not in regards to those of us with Celtic heritage, it was in regards to the fact that we are all part of the Xmarks "Clan" by choice and not by blood relation to each other. I don't see how it takes away from my heritage.

    Now, if it was in reference to the choicing of wearing a kilt, than yes I can see that point. We all choose to wear a kilt, but some of us do to honour our family heritage where as other do it because they look freakin' cool.

    People of XMarks be wary. Look who has posted these "polls". None other than Panache! From member to House Chairman to Moderator in just a scant few weeks. I believe that Jamie is seruptiously planning a bloody take over of XMarks. We havn't heard from Mike1 in ages, Highlandtide was probably only let out of the bloody tower to keep up appearances, to stop those of us questioning Panache's motives. HE WANTS TO BE NAMED XMARKS CLAN CHIEF! Perhaps even King then he can install the F-H.C.A.G as queen and make us all wear pink flippin' kilts!!!

    Aside from that I vote "By choice, not by blood" Well phrased your Majesty. And thank you Colin I do look cool in a kilt.

    You were, of course, my inspiration for that comment, Grant.*

    * of course it only had to do with the new leather rkilt.
