The best thing to do is hang out in all three -- sooner or later you
will take a shine to one -- settle there. The small groups sometimes
get overlooked because of the lower volume but can be friendlier - the
bigger groups sometimes have weird big ego holier than thou vibes coming
from the most vocal people (c.l.p seems clean actually -- the Oracle
groups are horrible).
