Well looking back at 187 on page 19, then reading a few more posts:

Ah, now, come on.

I stand by my right to have expressed the way I was feeling about some of the kilt discussions.

Hey, that's fine by me, but I'd take it more seriously if I didn't see you hiding under that chair so often

You do have the right, Ted. You always exress yourself respectfully.
Wear that tartan with pride. It has meaning for you, and that's all that matters. There will always be people you meet who will disagree with what you want to wear, especially if you're going to wear the kilt. It's good to get and listen to advice from the members here, and we all learn from that. In the end, though, we have to take what we've learned and, if I may quote, "Kilt On!"

Well, thanks, Macman. I do have a swatch of my tartan that I sometimes wear.

I looked at the OP of this thread. Sometimes, maybe having to stretch the family ties back two hundred years might feel like a bit much, and a tartan for something other than a clan might have more personal meaning. Perhaps a state tartan?

200 years is nothing mate.
For some members of my family for instance, the War Between the States seemed like it happened just yesterday. Stories about other ancestors who fought at the Alamo, in the Revolutionary War, & lived in Ulster (North Ireland) are told so often that present generations almost feel like they know these people personally. I'm sure its that way for others here too.
Even if you don't feel that yourself Ted, remember that you have the blood of your ancestors in your veins. And in the end it matters not what anyone else thinks or says, its what you feel in your heart my friend.
Wear your chosen tartan with pride!

I truly think that everyone here stands by your right to express the way you're feeling Ted.

Well then, please be seated.

I didn't mean to take over this thread. Sorry about that.
