    More reasoned, rational, calm posts like that, young man, and you'll be drummed off this thread!

    I have been watching this thread with some wonderment my own self and am amazed at how one thread can go in so many directions at once.

    Well-said, Jamie.

    It's because many people are talking about several things at once, with many assuming we're all talking about the same thing *and* disagreeing.

    I respectfully disagree...if you think about it in a certain way, it's not really true.

    The subject is "The Importance of knowing the Rules..."

    Non-traditional "kilts" are not subject to "rules." I think we all accept that and if not, then this thread has gone some ways toward establishing that principle. In fact, some have gone so far as to vociferously assert that the whole reason for wearing a non-traditional "kilt" is to flaunt or go outside the accepted rules and conventions.

    So then, if we are talking about "rules or "conventions" we must, by default, be talking about traditional kilts...or "highland dress." Or, at most, some variation/evolution thereof.

    Seen from that perspective, I think the thread has been remarkably focused...considering.
