An introduction from Steve, the new owner of XMTS

[Mr. Kilt]

A hearty CONGRATS, Steve! XMTS is in good hands.
And a big THANK YOU to Hank for starting this wee little place on the web. If not for Xmarks, I may have never gotten into wearing a kilt.

Well, this isn't anything I could have figured out when you said a surprise was coming.

'twas you who told me about this forum some years ago over on the then active Utilikilts forum...lots of miles since.

Brings hope that maybe(???) the scruffy dandelion logo can be replaced by the elegant maple leaf?

And hear hear for amnesty for Puffer and James et.al. save the crazy ones....who me??

Congratulations Steve, and thanks to Hank. This is truely a unique forum out of all the forums on the internet. We have been in good hands, and I feel quite confident that we will continue to have strong leadership in the future.

Congratulations Steve! Here's to us

Here's tae us
Wha's like us
Damn few,
And they're a' deid
Mair's the pity!

May those who live truly be always believed,
And those who deceive us be always deceived.
Here's to the men of all classes,
Who through lasses and glasses
Will make themselves asses!

I drink to the health of another,
And the other I drink to is he
In the hope that he drinks to another,
And the other he drinks to is me.

Then let us toast John Barleycorn,
Each man a glass in hand
Andy may his great prosperity
Ne'er fail in old Scotland!

Where did you find that member number?

Congrats, Steve. I think you will need a bigger coffee cup from now on.

Where did you find that member number?

I simply counted after sorting for join date.
Some, having joined earlier than me might in the meantime have cancelled their member ship, of course, but never mind.

Greg.

Does that mean that we have to call you "Sir" from now on. Well done Steve.
