    Well, "you snooze, you lose."

    No disrespect intended, but seriously, don't you think this is just a little disingenuous? (I'm asking...)
    Who is doing all this name calling? Who has been called a Kilt Kop and by whom? When did this ever happen? Can anybody provide a link?
    I don't have as many posts as you do but I've been here as long or longer (maybe I just spend more time listening). Everyone seriously involved in this thread, and others going on simultaneously, almost tacitly acknowledge the problem. Matt Newsome postulated a scenario in which the protagonist was accosted by "kilt police." Matt didn't question either the concept or the name calling.

    Even the title of this thread...

    I myself have seen name calling and the bandying about of "kilt police" to cut short a discussion or characterize other members as somehow not "right thinking" (unlike the rest of us ) over and over again. As recently as several months ago in a discussion I was involved in and where it was used against me...or someone like me.

    And I spoke up against it then as I have done since I joined here.

    I think there is too much complaining about things that don't exist.
    Or too little about things that do.

    But then, again, maybe I'm just paying more attention.

    Well, you carry on with your paying attention and complaining, it is a beautiful afternoon here in Norfolk and I am off to help my wife in the garden.

    And that's the best thing I've read in years.

    Boys, it's time to turn off the computers and go do something else for a while.
