Ian was the only person at LCM who wore a kilt; it's not a job requirement.

I won't try to speak for Ian, but I will point out that he posted a defense of
the job listing (as did Mike Ross) at The Register when commentors on this same
listing took cheap shots at it based on no information.

Feel free to ask me about it, too.  I won't lie about it.  I am, after all, in
the same job as Ian was and I've been here 5 years longer.  (I interviewed Ian
for the job.)
