Crumbs! Only four----five now------posts on this subject and the earth is still spinning? Have we really run out of things to say on this subject? Have we? Really? Well I do hope so!

That's not a very hospitable response to a person with 40 odd posts. They may not know 'just how many threads' have debated a particular company or their search-fu may be weak. IN GENERAL (not just singling out any one member), if people want to discuss a topic, I'd like to see them allowed to discuss it without others telling them not to b/c it's been discussed before.

There have been dozens of times when I've heard someone say "Don't wear white hose" and I've thought the same thing to myself... "are they really going to beat this 'white hose' horse again?!?!", but I haven't said anything (excluding this post).

My point is some people have been up here for years (over 7 years and counting for myself). Others are just joining and exploring the 'world of Xmarks'. Let's all try to keep that in mind when we post... especially if someone is new. MOST topics we hash out up here have been discussed before, even ones we think are 'new'.

I'm planning on getting a grey "tweed" jacket and waistecoat from them. I know it will be shall we say not the best but for the two or three times I wear it a year it's worth it to me. I still have a jacket and waistcoat on my wish list made by Lady Chrystal but that will have to stay in my que.
