[QUOTE=Panache;822862]Rex,





I don't think Alan understands that when the experts here weigh in, that they are going to state the exact "letter of the law"



For me, much of what this thread is about is the so called citing of the "letter of the law," I think I know what you mean when you say that, but unfortunately, many of the "experts" quote nonsense (much of it created by Englishman during the Victorian era) as their authority. At best, you can cite past custom, but you exceed yourself when you start talking about "the law," and you do not do any favor to the new kilt wearer who comes to this site for advice. Don't even use the words, "rule" or "law," and and the use of the word "exact" in this context is grossly inappropriate.
