    I can add my two cents in as well. I have been a member on this board for a few years and have hopefully contributed some to the membership as a whole. To date, I have not met any of the other mods and like Jamie am looking forward to meeting him, Brian (BeeDee) and Steve in Victoria later this month.

    I was absolutely flabbergasted when the mod team asked me to join their august body a couple of months ago. I can tell you that I like and respect the gentlemen that have 'volunteered' their time to make this the best kilt forum on the net. As has been stated, we do not always agree and sometimes our discussions are rather interesting, but at the end of the day we all want the same thing. With that in mind, we are able to maintain friendships that I feel will last long past the time I spend on this board.

    We play an original tune with hints of the "Mod Squad" theme woven into it--but I digress

    The Mod Squad --the original.

    You MODS should put together a video remake of the intro--kilted! Now that would be a hoot!

    My experience was very similar to to Mike's (Splash4) as I joined at the same time. And we are spread around the Americas for now, with several on the East Coast, McMurdo in Canada, and Jamie in California. We used to have a mod in Europe and hopefully when we next look we will go further afield.

    I've met Nelson and Bill (Tartan Hiker) at Grandfather Mountain and Steve when I went out to Victoria earlier this year and ordered a kilt (wasn't an mod then) and I'm also looking forward to meeting Mike and Jamie later in the month.

    The unique feature of this forum, and not restricted to the mods is the way that friendships develop and grow without necessarily meeting in person. But without exception, every XMTS member I have met in person is someone I am proud to call friend.

    Mods, and Steve - thanks to all of you for what you do. This forum is a place where I have learned a lot, maybe added a bit(?), and look forward to the back-and-forth between members. I appreciate the civility and respect shown, and look forward to 'checking in' evenings or whenever.

    It's a comfortable place to be. I often call my wife to check out a post or a picture with the assurance whatever is here will never be inappropriate. I'd be proud to meet anyone on here and am sure we'd meet as friends.

    Thanks again,
    Dan

    Well the other guys have summed up what we do pretty well already.

    But, I too was selected by the moderation team to join them after being a member for some time (think I'd been here a couple of years?) I've not met any of the other mods, and like Glen really really wish I could be in Victoria for the the big sha'bang but it's not possible for me either. We do all get along quite well and proudly consider each other friends.

    And Jamie, you should well know I'm up and up on my HP Lovecraft.
