"Birds of a feather flock together"
Looking for fellow-travellers? Well, help is at hand. E2 has people from all walks of life, with many diverse interests, and some of them do flock together in clumps. Or flocks, whatever. The point is, there are people out there who share your interests. To join a usergroup, pick your "feather", /msg the person in charge and sign up!
To add or correct details here, please contact Tem42.
We are also considering adding a column for "Type" - discussion, social - that sort of thing. Ideas appreciated.
