However I don't think there is a bar to new posters to the group who
contribute becoming regulars. Joining the "clique" if you like. Always

Being a Mac user is being part of a clique in any case. But like all
groups there are 20% who talk and dominate and 80% who lurk and shuffle
around in the background. That aside, posting a basic technical query
here usually has a result - saved my bacon more than a few times.

I am essentially an 'outsider'. But I have used this NG since oh, 1992
or so. It's just I don't have the time to post frequently. Frequent
posting is often the key to an NG.
