Charles is in the same clique with the people who got Culotta to speak at the banquet.
Since Jim Kruse is the only one who gets the banquet speakers, apparently he is in that same clique.

I believe he mentioned Sheldon as being in the clique but Jim Follis was not.

I assume I am in the clique because he doesn’t like me.

That makes 3 of us so far and Follis is excluded.

AT least that’s what I count.

Not including Andy’s Own clique per his post below.
