I agree with PremEx on this one. I am having serious difficulty imagining any "big picture" or "context" where it would be appropriate for TalkBoard members to refer to themselves as good and the long-term members of Flyer Talk as evil.

As far as cliques go, Gaucho, when I first came here many years ago, the members of the old clique welcomed me with open arms and taught me far more than I could have imagined about travel and the wonderful friendships that can develop in a Bulletin Board community. I am deeply grateful. Just as I am grateful for the friendship of many delightful newcomers to the board.

While it saddens me that some of my favorite OldTimers no longer post, it also delights me to see that many of them are still here, still welcoming, and still generous with their friendship and their wisdom. We are all fortunate indeed for their presence among us.
