Well it wasn't me either, but whoever it was is very kind indeed, these look to be fabulous quality hose.
I too have experienced much kindness from my fellow xmarkers on both sides of the Atlantic, true friends who have taken me into their homes and made me welcome, and have given kindly of their hospitality and/or gifts of kilt accessories, and who have wished me well when things have been going badly.
Xmarks really is a family.
