Strange - I have never felt any different when using the 'Cat, even when I lived in the UK. At that time I had 'friends' on the site in the UK, Australia and the USA. I was not part of any clique than either, just a normal Mudcatter who used most of her own name on the 'Cat and set up both profile and photo.

Matbe the difference is that I have never felt the need to post as Guest - apart from on the SS threads - as anything that I want to say I will say under my own name.
