I do believe that there is at least the "perception" of cliques on Lyric 3. And to some degree I think we do occassionally present some of the characteristics of a clique. Even at that, I am not sure that it is a a true clique, per se. Of course, the definition of a clique varies, depending on the reference source you choose. From everything I was taught in my various Psych classes in college, becoming part of a clique is normal human behavior. People are most comfortable when they are in the company of others with similar ideas and likes.

If indeed there is a clique here, I do not see it as an offensive or intolerant assembly of people. And it is by no means exlusionary.

All of that having been said, I do think one lyric board would help to alleviate the perception of a formal clique. It would also make it more convenient for folks with dial-up Internet service. Going back and forth between boards on a dial-up connection is no fun! Thank God I have Broadband!!!!!

Although I have been very active on several other JPF boards recently, I have been on a self-imposed hiatus from the lyric boards for the past month for other reasons that I am not going to whine about here. But, I do expect to be back in the next couple of weeks.

My vote is for one lyric board.

Thanks for all the work and thought you have put into this, Brian. And thanks for caring enough about us to ask and give such careful consideration to what we say. Whatever you do, I am confident that it will be a good decision and that the great majority of us will be very pleased with it, once we have had a little time to acclamate. You know how we humans hate change! Just for the record, I think well thought out and correctly implememted change is fabulous! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
