This, as all other usenet groups, is a collection of very diverse
people around the world. Some lurk, some participate every so often,
and others are very active. The folks who are very active are often
perceived to be the clique in any forum. Again, nothing outside of
the ordinary here. There are a variety of opinions and the are often
clashes of opinions. Some folks get along, some don't. Anything unique
yet? Nope, I don't think so either.

People either wake up and recognize that and hang around, or come back
after a "break", or slink off into the darkness.

Gee, how 'bout that. This is just like any other usenet group.
