I was surprised to hear you say this, because in *my* experience, this
is one of the *least* cliquish and insular lists I've ever been on. [And
I've been on a lot of lists, for a lot of subjects.] I* certainly never
felt inadequate or riduculed because of my short history on the list /
in the fandom. My very first post contained a bit of musing on the
similarities Percy and Snape and sparked what I thought was a very
interesting discussion about Percy. [Looking back, I slap myself for not
checking the archives first. D'oh! Lucky for me it seemed to be a 'new'
topic.]

I don't mind if nobody answers to something I say. I like it when they
do, but it doesn't really bother me when they don't.

If I violate any list rule, or somesuch, I don't mind being told. That
goes for grammar and spelling mistakes, as well -- even doubly so! No,
there is no need to be rude about those things, but to be honest, I'd
rather be on a list where the moderators were a bit 'lax' about that
sort of thing than have too 'strict' moderators.

Again, this is one of the best lists I've ever been on. It's neither
bitchy nor overly 'friendly', and I like it a lot.

A newbie's 2 cents.
