I am a member of 4 cliques of size 3
- cahwyguy, estherchaya, cellio
- cahwyguy, ellipticcurve, ixixlix
- cahwyguy, ellipticcurve, gf_guruilla
- cahwyguy, jumbach, transitfan
Here on LJ, the “cliques” are smaller, and what is interesting is that they are clearly distinct. The 1st is a group of Jewish friends I’ve made on LJ that go back to my active days in soc.culture.jewish; the 2nd and 3rd (which are actually the same group, and would shop up larger once gf_guruilla sets up the mutual friends with ellipticcurve and ixixlix) are family and close friends. The 4th is the roadgeek clique: folks interested in highway stuff.
I wonder if other folk’s cliques break out as cleanly as this?
