Y'know Colin I would agree with you except the more I read this conversation the more I see the whole clan thing as completely irrelevant outside the historical context. i know that's wrong too and that for some the clan associations can be living things, but I haven't seen it. Clan Donald is perhaps the largest clan of all and no less so here in Canada, but can I get the time of day from them? Pah! Ideally it should be active in all respects as you suggest. I'm just not feeling the love.
