Well, Ratter...it's mentioned from time to time but no-one ever says who they think is in these fictitious cliques...but if it is a cooking clique I most certainly am not in it.... A clique can only be a clique by exclusion and it's impossible to exclude on here unless you are Ed or by self exclusion... You will notice my self exclusion from cooking things threads. :-) x

well I post about dogs, sometimes say good morning, sometimes post about food, sometime join in SHFTG. I don't consider myself a member and certainly have never been made to feel unwelcome, so I don't see them as cliques

here's a definition of clique

clique
/klēk/
Noun
A small group of people with shared interests, who spend time together and exclude others.
Synonyms
faction - ring - clan - gang - coterie - cabal
please note "and exclude others"

That's why we include you in cooking recipes and related items, gness.......

what would gness think of this dish?
does it have enough alcohol in it - no - add one more for gness?
can gness travel with this dish?
would it make good bird-watching fodder?
will it cause trouble between gness and craftie?
is it safe to cook - will A&E be called?

tiggerblue10, same here, im unique, just like everybody else on here!

craft1948

There are a group of people on here who tend to chat to one another, and if you're not in the know you can't actually understand what on earth they're talking about as they make references to things you've not heard about.
It doesn't bother me as I just go and join in other threads.
I certainly don't feel excluded...............

Michael Showalter:

"I've always baulked at anything that feels like a clique, even if it's not always in my best interest to do so. I like each individual, fedora-wearing or knicker-fiend hipster - it's just the greater gestalt that rubs me the wrong way."

If any of you think you are on your own here, you are not! Loads of people are reading whatever you write. I think we are all loosely connected to each other now! Willingly or unwillingly.
