What a bunch of self-loathing, unscrupulous, depressing, whining, and otherwise uninteresting bunch of low-lifes the rest of the world must be. Actually this topic of "trust" makes me think of a story I should have shared a long time ago. There is a weaver in NC, (Matt Newsome Knows her name I'm sure,) that my wife and I met at the Stone Mountain Games. My wife wanted a throw-blanket in the Carolina tartan. She did not have any on hand but had one back at her home. She took down our name and address and sent it to us without any payment in advance. She didn't know us from Adam's house cat but I guess being at the Highland Games, she figured we must be trustworthy. So maybe it goes beyond XMTS, maybe there's something about people who wear kilts, (or are married to people who wear them,) that is innately trustworthy. I'd like to think so.......
