I do, but I understand what you mean by not finding your ideal set in a prepackaged group. I once thought of joining a prepackaged group, but it proved more difficult than I expected. I did make one new friend out of it though, and I'm happy about that. If I really want a circle of friends, rather than a set of separate friendships, I think I'm going to have to forge it myself, with help from those that get added. I figure that could take awhile.
I think oddhack's entry raises an interesting question. What is the most "target rich" environment for finding potential friends that match my criteria for joining my circle? Which raises another question: what are my criteria for circle admission?
As you said: "Must think more"...or maybe I'm already thinking too much. I can never tell.
This topic has lots of points of departure for future conversation though :-)
