Perhaps the uncertainty is over who is "us." You seem to define us as those who have made this a home of sorts, or who have established and maintained regular identities, comradaries or community roles. I am trying to be specific that I am refering to my interests and to those who hold interests similar to mine, which by your definition, just might not include you because your interests are different. Nonetheless, as the site is written "group" refers to the entire set of people who register a user name -- not just to those who profess a profound appreciation for the site.
