I really don't have a dog in this fight, but I think some people are missing the original point. The "choice" here isn't the choice to wear a kilt. Its the choice to participate in this forum, which some have likened to a "virtual clan." I am equally happy with the current proposal and the F-H.A.C.G.'s suggestion "In Kilts Fellowship."
Best regards,
Jake

Now, if it was in reference to the choicing of wearing a kilt, than yes I can see that point. We all choose to wear a kilt, but some of us do to honour our family heritage where as other do it because they look freakin' cool. 
Colin is right...even I look freakin' cool in a kilt!
I'm of mixed feelings on this one. I like the motto proposed at the beginning of this thread but I'll have to think about the other proposals.

Way to climb down off of that fence Dee. And I'm sure Colin wasn't even think of you when he put thoughts to keyboard!

Some people here. Ah-hah. Still happy with my vote, but must quote my favorite commentator Emily Litella: "Never mind . . . "

I'd have voted for "Why in the world do we need a motto?" but I did not see it among the choices.
