[rec.music.gaffa] Origin of KT symbol

  About a week or so ago, someone posted the (intriguing) suggestion
that Kate borrowed the 'KT' symbol from the Knights Templars.  Can
anyone confirm this at all, or can the original sender elaborate?  It
sounds a little farfetched to *me*, but a link might be interesting...

  Why would Kate use a Templar symbol (apart from the initials being
the same)?  The mind boggles!

I've been wondering about the KT symbol too; on a weather map, the symbol
for a thunderstorm is...well...let's just say a leetle similar to to the
KT symbol:  it looks exactly like the KT symbol, except that the lower right-
               __
hand leg of the K has an arrow head pointing south-east.

Any thoughts?
