I'll do that.
As it was, I felt it necessary to obtain some assurance that this club
wasn't just some sort of LEGO equivalent to a stereotypical high-society
club where only "important" people can get in. Or worse, some kind of
cover for some activities which couldn't be kept entirely above board.
I've received such assurance to a measurable degree of confidence and am
a lot more comfortable with the concept now than I was a few hours ago.
I apologize for my paranoia, but I guess been around the block a few too
many times, and unfortunately seen quite a few people get hurt
(emotionally if not physically). The idea of a location being kept
secret set off quite a few "red flags" in my mind as to whether or not
this was something that I should endorse.
