Also, forums such as this often have a particular focus at their heart, though how closely that agenda is adhered to varies greatly. MR, for example, frequently strays away from the subject of reading on electronic devices. This meeting of like-minded people who have a shared interest and often a shared level of intellect, forms its own little salon.
Likewise with a cat forum I belong to, although the membership is somewhat different to that of MR: predominantly female, very caring, but a little less intellectual; thus creating its own meeting of like-minded people.
