Webster's New Encyclopedic Dictionary (1995):

clique:

"a small exclusive group of people having a shared often selfish interest (French)."

I, RUDI, AM A PROUD MEMBER OF OUR FLYERTALK CLIQUE - AND I ENJOY IT!

And I add: For me Arturo's posting are one of the highlights when I surf trough the postings - it shows witt, high intellect, and his statements are often VERY TRUE.

It is not that easy to tell the truth the way Arturo does - these are no typing errors at all, it is the way to criticise in a language most people accept better (or never understand at all) than getting the truth openly, it is like Simplicissimus in Germany in the middle age, I appreciate it very much indeed.

Arturo plays the role of the "truth-teller", like in the middle-age the role of a JESTER. I LOVE and APPRECIATE ARTURO's postings - REALLY.
