The HPFGU groups do offer an interesting alternative, but I'm more of a
slasher and not even close to a literary intellectual.  Truthfully, I
haven't read a single HPFGU message in weeks; I just skim subjects.

I'm happiest on mailing lists (multiple technical reasons that no forum or
journal has yet to compensate) where folks are free to killfile me or jump
into a discussion.  I can think for myself but it's interesting to have a
second viewpoint.

If the complaint was about folks being 'buried under the masses', join the
club.  Fanfic writers are especially paranoid.  For example, since I'm
replying to Heidi's message, the FA domains could be a 'graveyard' for
some fics or forum posts because of the huge amount of work they're
competing with.

Hm, create your own 'clique'.  Find folks you want to converse with and
*privately* invite them into a smaller group.  Elitist, yeah, but that's
what some of y'all are suggesting anyway.

Dina,
a last year 'newbie' on HPFGU that's probably still on moderated - I can
chat freely here and on the HPFGU movie list and I'm happy with that
