Sorry. Not seen it before and it looked genuine and from BT.

Keep them to myself next time. Suppose it would have been different if I
was one of the clique


Maybe if you stopped commenting on how 'clique-ish' you perceive this this
group to be, people would accept you better.

In general, people don't appreciate constantly being told how unfriendly
they are.

Just a thought.




You just watch and see if I am not 100% right ;-)

If you really really /want/ to be a despised member of the group there
is nothing to prevent you taking whatever actions you choose to fulfill
that prediction.

On the other hand, if you want to be a warmly appreciated member of the
group, you need to stop being such a wet sop.
