"This sideline does not belong in the discussion and I see no point in dragging it out."

So why keep harping on it? You brought up a valid point. Now you have to listen to others' opinions. That's the way it works. Posting since 1998 and regularly since '07 hardly qualifies you as a "newbie". What clique are you and I not a member of? I need to know.

My opinion: I find the periodic threads about cliques and non-inclusive special groups along with the endless tedium about anonymous clones as wearying as the stupid copycat threads.

And I can't wait to see kat's explanation of lime green thongs, dentists and potatoes...

Back to work.
