Well, this is interesting for sure. Kudos for Steve and the mods taking the risk. I went back to rule 11 in the Forum Rules list and something is very wrong...it makes no sense in that it lacks a few words - probably the words that prohibit...so its impossible to review Rule 11 there. I did read Steve's extensive post on this subforum. That's pretty clear. For me, the great irony is I have two out of control addictions...buying kilts, and buying the items prohibited under Rule 11. Other kilt forums have allowed discussion of prohibited items under Rule 11 and there have been no negative results. Perhaps that's what is encouraging this trial. And, I'm also active on many forums that focus on the items prohibited under Rule 11 and have been surprised there are so many kilties on those boards. Once at the Prescott Highland Games there was a booth by a company that offered instruction on the items prohibited under Rule 11. They were always packed with kilties. Don't know if there's some sort of reason - but kilts and the items prohibited under Rule 11 seem to go together well....go figure. Hope this experiment works out.
