I don't see this inner circle either. This could be because I also just
don't tend to see things like that. I have "sub'd" for Rick as host a
couple of times, but I don't contribute frequently. I learn from and think
about what other people say, but I don't always have the inclination to
respond.
As I was thinking about this, I realized that every time I've been on the
"outside", it's taken me years to recognize it. I just assume I am (and
everyone involved are) on the inside, until proven otherwise :-)
