Thanks Mr Beeman. Good comments.

I have been cultivating a large and unruly beard for many years now, and that has been enough to mark me as being a bit strange. So I guess people have already marked me as a "nutter". (Actually I've trimmed the beard right down, but am now thinking of growing a handlebar mustache, but I digress.)

It also helps having the temperament of not really giving a damn what people think. But I guess that is something one is born with, so I can take no credit.

By the way, some members of the BG forum are asking of you Mr Beeman.

Mr. McFarkus,

I don't care if they call me a nerd. (I'm not a nerd, if anything I'm a geek.) But yeah, I've got the guts to wear a kilt and they don't. The more they give me curry about it, the more I realise that they are wishing that they had the kahoonas to do the same.
