Sorry, what issue?
In general, "multiple identities" tends to be a problem here, so I'd rather transfer your "membership" to Krazy Kat. I hope that's OK.

Why so?

> In a word, the 2000 board has created a CLIQUE, which imo is abhorrent and juvenile (geez, it harkens back to junior high and high school days).
"Clique" does have negative connotations, but as Phil says, PB itself could be seen as a clique. And in fact has been.
> I cannot believe what I've just read here - that people are actually be BLOCKED from posting on the old timers/200 board. Huh? So, now there's the CLIQUE of INSIDERS, the inner circle, the inner sanctum and there's the OUTSIDERS, those who are literally BLOCKED OUT. This is ABSURD.
This was discussed some before:

I do want to see if this can work and want continued input, so my intention is *not* to deflect criticism, but I do also wonder, maybe this is harder for people who've been neglected in the past?
