All right, Scott...point taken.
You've made it clear to me that #11 needs a clarification. I'll fix the
Terms document and post a brief message about the text change.
It was never the intention -- even in the remotest sense -- for "groups which
do not explicitly welcome" to be misinterpreted as "groups of people which do
not explicitly welcome." The word "group" there means "discussion group,"
not "people group."
