I like the idea of cotton gloves too. My lodge dress code is casual, but I always show up in a suit or a shirt and tie/ slacks at the least.

Mostly it has to do with the amount of bandwidth into the server site, how many servers are there, and (Then a miracle happens).
The Internet doesn't work too badly for something designed by DARPA.

I've been trying to work my way though "The History of Freemasonry (the Legendary Origins)" written by Albert Mackery. My husband has it in his library and recommended that I'd learn much about Masonry from it, but to tell you the truth so far the stories and theories are so rooted in very ancient speculation that it hasn't really grabbed me yet. But I'll keep slogging through!

I actually just picked up a pretty good book today... it's called "The Essential Zohar" (The Essential Zohar, Rav P.S. Berg, (9780609807316) Paperback - Barnes & Noble)
I've only had about an hour to read it so far, but it's been great reading so far.

Ive been researching the York Rite to prepare for my upcoming festival. I read a 1924 edition of the Encyclopedia for Freemansonry chapters on the Knights Templars and have come away more confused than ever but also learned a good bit of history. Hopefully the festival will enlighten me and straighten things out. I do know that this subject matter captivates me more than anything I've found in Freemasonry so far and i look forward to learning every bit i can find.

Here is a forum dedicated to the History of the Templars. There are also a section that sells books, some about the Craft.
If you are looking for a 22 page research paper about the dissolution of the Knights Templar, then I am your man

Actually, the biggest part i dont get is according to the Encyclopedia, my understanding is that the Templars started off as very high moral beings with self sacrifice for others being their primary initiative....
By the end (again, this is just what i gathered from the encyclopedia and i could have a bad understanding) they were corrupt and avoided conflicts. They embezzled(sp?) money and were generally poor moral characters. They became part of the Masons after they fled from the accusations of Philip.
Just from that very broad assessment, Im finding it difficult to reason out why we have a set of degrees in honor of them???
