I don't post very much, as once I've caught up with all the threads I run out of time (I do try to "join in" as much as I can, either by occasional posts or "liked this post", but I really don't think this forum is clique-y. I don't think my posts are ignored due to my low post level, whereas I used to be on a forum who would not only ignore new posters but go out of their way to discuss things in oblique terms. I regularly see posts on this forum asking for an explanation of what is being discussed and someone will always come along and link any previous threads or give a brief synopsis.
And to the original point of this thread - are QVC stupid or what?
