i just dip and and dip out, as and when. join in with stuff if i fancy, or not if i don't. most of the time i just can't be bothered to, although i do get some good laughs at what's posted. my favourite bits are body & soul, and food & drink although i do have a brief read through chatterbank and other topics that pop up on 'latest posts' when i am here and sometimes get drawn in. always check the arts & literature bit too, for book recommendations.
i don't find it cliquey really but then i'm not really here enough to notice....
