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)

(...) 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 (...)

(...) 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 (...)
