Yeah, this is a good argument, probably accurate. (Well put, too.) Still, I was really struck by how much, everyone I had a conversation with, I was happy they were there. Not making a gesture here, this was literally the case.

Given that, a question of curiosity: did you avoid or seek to cabin with only mutuals/people you know and regard well? I'm wondering how your cabin experience matches with mine relative to the whole 'to clique or not to clique?'

yeah my whole idea was to make a clown cabin with you and maybe and Jeff, and then QC also asked maybe so we combined. I ultimately didn't really feel like I fit in very well but it was certainly an interesting set of people, apologies if I made too much noise :)
