Personally, I love hearing the views of our Scottish members on a garment that originated in their country. It would be a shame to lose your input. I wear the kilt occasionally, maybe once or twice a month. I wear a kilt to Scottish events, weddings, and to campus everyonce in a while. I like to shake up my routine a little and educate people on campus when I can. Now that I have a REAL traditional kilt, I much prefer it to my cheap knockoffs and will continue to buy on the up and up as I can afford. That being said, I have a contemporary kilt, or skirt if you prefer, that I rather enjoy wearing. I freely tell people it has no connection with Scotland, I just enjoy wearing it. I am alright with being "that guy that wears a skirt."

For me this forum has been indespensable. It has served as a great source of knowledge for getting in touch with the traditions of a part of my heritage. I dont take this place too seriously. We are all here to enjoy one anothers company and share ideas. I have met some really great people on account of Xmarks and would hate to lose that.
