I think that's probably right, that there's the tendency to assume a
general knowledge of goings on - less sure about cliquiness: I've met
perhaps a sixth of the 'regulars', much less of the whole list. But then,
maybe a virtual-clique..there's also an element of busy-ness, that is, to
present a fully explanatory, entirely unassuming message is
time-consuming. The list entials certain abbreviations, I think.
