As I said in another post, I am in complete agreement with everything Matt has
said. I do not like "me too" posting, though, and if I see Matt eloquently
defending the decision NELUG has made, I don't see the point in posting.

I have to say that this conversation has done nothing but hurt Shiri's position
in my eyes.
I don't see how she expected that posting a message complaining about the
policy to such a wide dispersion was going to help her at all. NELUG, more
than anything else, is a social group. If she has to force her way in, do you
think that's going to make her welcome? Probably not. If she's not mature
enough to realise that before clicking the "send" button, then perhaps the age
limit isn't too far off as it stands.
