I'll have to disagree here. If such a clique exists, I'm surely a part of it...and that is not the intent. We have a (probably idealized) view of good information exchange with reduced crap. That is far from desiring a fiefdom. I couldn't care less who provides the information, as long as it is accurate. Wanting a fiefdom is inconsistent with the self-imposed vacations that some of these folks have, and are taking.
Cheers.
