Let the good times roll

Fet is a strange animal in that you can start a group about almost anything... unless it is going to interfere with their revenue stream of course... then there is a subtle change in attitude. As a result there are three types of groups that emerge; the small special interest groups, the larger, long running special interest groups and the response to those other groups. They are usually started up by someone who has a beef or who is just fed up with the dominant paradigm. Those latter ones are often hugely popular and short lived.

They are that way because people move on emotionally, realise that running a long term group is hard work and it runs out of momentum or it reaches a point when people realise that while all that snark is fun that it doesn't enrich their lives quite as much as the new group come to take its place.

At the moment a group such as this is littering the feed. It was started as a joke for those who are doing it wrong and it does look like a lot of fun. To the point that one is almost half tempted to join in...

Except for one little problem...

It will only be a matter of time before it starts to change. 

The signs and portents are already there. In the couple of weeks it has been running it has subtly started to evolve...

Into a group that is now mocking others who are doing it wrong

Sighs it's such a fine line...
