Opinion needed re: group riding

[Geonz]

I like the idea of dropping back to the slower group and helping *them* rejoin, if you don't want to do the diplomacy thing yourself. If it's happened more than once and nobody's joined you in "no man's land," have you tried announcing that you're going to drop back to the other group so that the group stays closer together and can regroup more readily, as in the old days? Could be a human or two has only seen you drop off when it was a little too late...
