I for one am sorry to see you go. I'm certainly not cliquey; am happy to talk with anyone. I can see where you are coming from to a certain extent though. I think that it is inevitable that some people with like
interests within astronomy will gravitate towards each other, especially
in the larger centres of population where some of them might be able to meet face to face, and actually become friends outside of IIS. Amateur
astronomy, by it's very nature, attracts a fair number of people of
higher than average intelligence and education, and therefore the odd
big ego here and there.
Best of luck
