I don't think there is anyone I know VERY well on here... well maybe one, but I knew her pre-MN! I think it's just that there are some who you feel you know because you just 'click' (bot clique!) on a humour level.. or they have been kind and supportive to you in threads where you needed it.. esp if you were posting under other names for anonymity.
There are a LOT of lovely people on here! And I admit, there have been times when I have felt a little as if there might be a clique, but even then I knew it was not because they really was one, but because I just felt that way due to my own insecurity and paranoia on that occasion. Clique-Senstivity-Disorder (CSD ) is a self-imposed condtion that exists only in the mind of the beholder!
