    Thanks Hank for this great forum.

    Thanks to the "elders" and "experts" in the group who so willingly supply tips, hints, and advice to us - critical to the support of us "kilt loners" in the hinterlands. Its great to be able to feel a part of a community, even when geographically remote from kilted brothers and sisters.

    Special thanks for the tolerance of repeat basic questions as new members join the board, only other place I've seen this is in Alcoholics Anonymous. Its a rare and wonderful thing.

    Why yes, I did get the three questions answered, and then some. I'm still looking for an answer to the question, "Why is Jennifer Garner dating Ben Affleck? Doesn't she realize this is career suicide?" This one might be left answered on another forum though.

    As for falling in love with XMarks, well, we weren't going to tell anyone for a while, but we've gotten engaged. We're spending all of our free time together, so I decided to pop the question. We haven't set the date yet, but we're registered at Target, BestBuy, and Amazon.com, for those who are considering sending gifts.

    I'm picturing Rufus knitting booties -- or are those little baby kilts?

    Congratulations!

    How does this registry thing work if we want to get you something?

    If I am not too late Hank, I should like to add my warmest thanks and Congratulations to you for providing us with 'this place' for the past year. I joined on March 1st so have not yet seen a full twelve months, but I feel I have known so many of the friends I have made here for many years.

    During the past ten months, I have had the pleasure of actually meeting up with a number of the "X Marks ..." brotherhood - many of whom are resident over here or have been visiting from North America. The Vancouver "Gathering" in August will hopefully provide the opportunity to meet so many more.

    I believe we who come here are learning something new with every visit.

    Thank you again.
