OK gjb... let's talk newbies...

You've complained about ***boat being cliquey but here you are after a year with more than 5000 posts and a whole bunch of friends.
... so I put the question to you... what were you expecting?

[Ziggy]

Tom, what makes you think he has a bunch of friends?
Just being a generously nice guy doesn't mean anything :wink:

[Tom Brown]

generously nice guy?
What's that?

[pixilatedpussy]

Im still a loner!!!
Can I be your friend?
love ya Tom!

[BarryMac]

Not expecting a thing, BTW I wasn't complaining, I simply asked the question that everyone else was thinking but didn't have the nuts to ask... :wink:

[Tom Brown]

Can I be your friend?
I'm sorry but I'm not allowed to talk to you for at least 1500 more posts.

Repeat the question

I was under the impression you were never a loner.
I assume you knew some people when you first got here because it seemed like you stepped in and were pretty comfortable right from the start. Some people take longer to join the group.
There are definitely people who's posts I seek out, regardless of the topic, so I guess I'm part of a clique in that sense. There was a time when I had more time to read every post in every forum but these days, I'll bet I read less than a third of what comes through the sandbar. I'd like to think I will chat with anyone, though.
... so the next question is... who cares about who is a newbie and who is not? Does it matter? Should it matter?
