Presumably you joined a while ago, when there weren't so many intimidating high-karma users around
Yes on all counts. You're clearly the cool kids here.
You see them talk like they know each other. You see them using specialized terms without giving any context because everybody knows that stuff already. You see their enormous, impossible karma totals and wonder if they've hacked the system somehow.
Dunno. It probably looks completely different from the other side. I'm just saying that's what it feels like (and this is bad for attracting new members), not that's what it's really like.
