As a newbie to this forum, I have been spending a lot of time reading threads that are not so active anymore, but want to get a flavor of the board.

I used to regularly post on a bulletin board for submariners, but as personal politics followed by personal invective became more and more common, I slowly lost interest and faded away.

I am refreshed by the very positive and encouraging atmoshpere on this board, it is a board related very much to the main topic - kilts.

Thank you to all of the people who created this community and I hope, as others before me, that I will someday reflect on my first, fourth, and perhaps many more anniverseries posting here.
