Well I *know* my view doesn't matter here (right Lar?) but my mind is boggling
too, so I'll post my opinion that it's a great idea.
I mean, if you look at local groups for instance-- they are composed of AFOL's
who have the common characteristic of living in a certain locale. To me it
seems an analogous thing. Mostly what they post in those groups is only of
peripheral relevance to the rest of us (like the best places to hold meetings).
But the primary emphasis is still LEGO. So what's the problem with that?
I look forward to seeing a lavender group and I hope it will be as entertaining
enough to lurk in as the Toronto group! :D
