    Can I be in the clique?

    Despite not meeting anyone or posting on the SCR thread?

    I bought a road bike when I was going to buy a hybrid until you lot talked me out of it.

    First you'll have to ascertain who's in the clique to let you in the clique. I hear they're a mysterious bunch.

    Aren't you Tom Boonen though? In which case, you should have your own clique. With groupies.

    That makes absolutely no sense and those people either need to learn what a forum is or not use the internet for social reasons.
    *sigh* but they arn't here for social reasons, they're here to find out whether they should start commuting by bike (etc)
    A forum is an online community, by definition there will be people who know each other. If you use a forum more than once chances are you will become familiar with someone, that's part of its purpose over and above the subject the forum is based around.

    This concept has been around for over a decade.]

    Yes, and the first email was sent nearly forty years ago, but people still get them spectacularly wrong.
    Yes, of course! D'uh!

    Clever Pun says no, but maybe he means the real world.

    No... he's just winding you up...
    What naysayers? Anyway, it doesn't work like that... I'm obviously "in", but I'm not part of the inner circle- never been to the Morpeth, for example. There are degrees of "in-ness". It's an online forum, not a girls school...

    Well if there is a clique there has to undoubtably be naysayers. ...!

    Maybe- maybe they don't say no but vote with their absence.

    Cheers,

    I seem to remember DDD crying on a previous thread that he was feeling excluded from the Morpeth clique.

    Can't remember which thread though, it was around the time of the legendary 'Ladies going commando' thread.

    I thought the only legendary thread was the SCR one? There are others?

    This online forum is a social environment, a social envrionment is one which groups of people can interact with one another. Online community is another way of describing an online social environment. The topic, commuting, is the basis and core of the types of discussion. It doesn't stop it from being a social environment.

    You really do read all my posts.....

    One of my weaker moments. They're all fine, some are closer to each other than others but that's to be expected. I want Greg66 to bring that lady friend he was with when I passed him along Chancery Lane... jesus wept....

    Do you lot know nothing?? The first rule of Clique Club is that you DO NOT talk about Clique Club.

    Oh.

    Note to self: read posts back before clicking Submit.

    Actually the thought had occurred - one of those can't stand each other, but can't stand to be without one another couples. :P

    If c) then that's some serious work you've put into the back story.
