Hey all I know I have been away a while, i had some personal things to attened to. I plan on being a productive X Marker once again, however i noticed that the name celtic cowboy is also being used by another. I do not want to come off wrong, just wondering about this.

Do you pronounce yours with a hard or soft 'C'? If you are the Seltic Cowboy and he is the Keltic Cowboy or vice versa I would think there should be no problem.

I once had an argument with a know-it-all old lady who worked for my city's cultural affairs department about the "hard k/soft c" thing.

This stuff happens on the internet. I had to change my proposed ebay name by inserting a hyphen to get around the fact that somebody else (long inactive on eay) had taken it.

Best

I see how that can be confusing. The only difference in the names is a space. I think we also have two Kilted Surveyors. It would be nice if the forum software could recognize similarities when signing up. For now just don't change your avatar. Thats how I initially recognize people anyways.

Mine would be Keltic version of Celtic.

It is too close - I would take it up with Steve. You were here first and he is a new newbie.

I suggest trial by arm wrestling to resolve the issue.

Bugbear, I think you're on to something there. Since it's a kilt forum, perhaps caber tossing, stone throwing, or scotch drinking would be more appropriate?

. I think I could get to like this form of conflict resolution.
