It's not protected, so it should load; in fact, you can right-click the link Rocky provided and choose "Save as ..." and save it to your computer, to read again and again and again.

Thanks for posting this. I also found the short story about the national tartan register initiative interesting.

Good article. I was testing some threads the other day and they turned out to be pure acrylic (not what the seller advertised at all). That stuff burns furiously, producing a loud sizzling/popping sound. The photos in the newsletter are awesome, but the sound of that burning kilt must have been truly startling. Acrylic kilts and campfires...not a good combination.
