Yes but even founder members of clubs can get uncomfortable when they don't have many friends there.
Realistically who now in OW is QFs friend?

I struggle to work out how your content on this and other threads is related to the real world. I am sure you are in one of JohnK's simulations.

As a hypothetical question it was a good one, though we fell mostly towards an answer that might resemble the reality instead of playing the imaginary scenario any further. Perhaps the whole thread should have been in one of the free-wheeling playground forums here for us to play in (beverages included, as needed).
