Jamie,
You have put into words what many of us have been feeling for a long time.
The old Clan system evolved for the same reasons this one did. Mutual support, protection, and identity.
We have read of our Clan members trials and tribulations and assisted where we could. We have fought to end oppression. We have found each other by gathering around our Tartan and Crest which are recognized world wide.
In many ways this Clan is more real, more active, more meaningful to many of us than our Clans of old.
I for one am proud to claim X Marks MY Clan.
Now all we need is a catchy theme song.

Hear! Hear!
My poetic ability pales to Jamie's - as does my prosaic - but I second his sentiments.

Here you go. I just changed all the words. 
X Marks The Scot (Adapted by "X Marks the Spot" By Kylie Lynch)
X marks the Scot where a piece of my heart fell.
Tartans flow and the pleats are knifed i can tell
It's never a lie when I say that I'm fine.
X Marks the Scot where I found my mind.
X Marks the Scot where everyone knows my name;
Through an avatar picture in a one inch frame;
Beyond my bedroom door I can now safely walk, with
X Marks the Scot where my brethren aren't mocked
X Marks the Scot where no comfort is lost.
But, For that box pleated kilt there may be a cost
Up high my head is now held, no longer hurting our necks,
I run, but dont trip back to that big blue X.

See this post for a collection of kilts in XMarksTheScot tartan.
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...6&postcount=24
Then, if you click on "Forums" in the navigation box and scroll down to X Marks The Scot.com Propaganda, you'll see the various forum related articles - including tartan - that are currently approved and periodically produced.
