  Re: Age limitations
 
I think Shiri is getting a raw deal here, and I think the ONLY way you are going to solve this is by opening up the NELUG group. Let the "Adult" members create a new group. That way you can keep your exclusive "adults" group and make a "public" (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)  
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) Well, I think *that's* being a little unfair. Eric and the others did the hard work to get NELUG started, to get the name publicized, shelled out the money for the domain naime, made the web page, etc. I think it's *really* unfair to suggest (...)

  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) It is also unfair to claim to be the New England Lego User Group, when they deny talented people access simply because they are underage. it should be renamed "New England Adult Lego User Group" or something then. (...) Again, see above. The (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) We did. We called it NELUG. If you feel the name is inappropriate, I am sorry, but I feel it is and I would not support changing it. (...) I support it fully. I am in complete agreement with everything Matt Miller has said, and have seen no (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) Hmm, is that what Tamy was suggesting? I thought she was suggesting that NELUG lower its age range from 18+ to 16+ (or whatever, maybe even abolishing the age limitation completely) and that adults start a new group (either separate or as a (...)

  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) In other words, she's saying that the people who are currently in the group and who like it as it is should go and form their own group, and the current group changes. I think that's a bit backwards, personally. (...) Well, I wouldn't. Not (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) Well I think that would not be fair to the current membership. NELUG was started with a purpose and we defined that pretty well I think. I think to force us to change the rule for NELUG and force adults to start another group is unfair to (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) there (...) You guys just aren't getting it are you??? Here, I'll spell it out! The thought of the adults starting another group is just as stupid as the thought of the Jr.Afol's starting another group.. It just won't happen will it? (...)

  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) Not in Massachusetts. (...) Which group of people is that? We were being completely peaceful. Even Shiri was being peaceful, and then all of the sudden a bunch of non-NELUG people showed up and started yelling at us. I see how that damages (...)

  Re: Age limitations
 
After reading all 299 some odd posts, my head hurts. I do have one request: Eric, I know I have briefly discussed this age issue with you ( mostly just getting backgorund ), and since I am coming into the area the week after next anyway, would you (...)

  For People new to NELUG (was: Re: Age limitations)
 
(...) Joe you are more than welcome to come to our meeting on the 12th. First I would like to say that I know there are going to be a lot of new faces at the meeting which is exciting and shows there is a lot of passion for the subject matter being (...)

(...) Hey, they have the new giant soft LEGO bricks there (the ones DACTA makes) and maybe we can all chip in to buy some and hit each other with them if we get into arguments. :) :) :) --Todd (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
