Bruce, if this is the main reason they want the group, it has nothing to do with Lego - Lego is incidental at best.

Lee:

LUGNET newsgroup theory is all about identifying subsets of interest within the community and creating focused discussion groups for those subsets, both LEGO-related and non-LEGO-related; it’s about creating and nurturing individual areas large and small where like-minded people can meet and discuss topics of interest to them without fear of being off-topic or lost among the ambient noise if they post elsewhere.

Whether LEGO is, as you say, “incidental at best” in a new .glbt group obviously remains to be seen; none of us can predict how incidental or instrumental the role of LEGO would be in this case. However, the very answer to that, I tell you, is not relevant here. What is relevant is whether a given group is relevant in the LEGO community, not whether it is relevant in the pure context of LEGO per se. That is the metric.

   The primary reason is for them to be open and be approved of, despite you saying this is not the case.

There are often multiple reasons supporting any new group request.
