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 assuming that's what they want to do. It isn't always the case.
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.

Rubbish.
