Jonathan,
You are a relatively new member so I guess you might not have known about the
history and extent of the rule.
To clarify, guests must meet the rules for membership. Therefore any guest
must be 18 years old or older.

This has been discussed before and the answer is no.

Again we have discussed this but we are not going to put ourselves in the
position of judging people on a person by person basis. Therefore the 18 and
over rule stands not to judge anyone for any arbitrary reasons, it is a hard
and fast rule that is not up for debate (within NELUG, LUGNETer's can debate it
all they want if they wish).

That is a distinct posibility.

I have explained to Sheree privately. I can talk to you about this at our
meeting if you want more background but just let it stand that this is a no
exception policy.

P.S. It is my understanding that there is a private discussion going on
between Shiri and some NELUG members about having a non-NELUG get together. I
am not personally involved in these discussions but once a date and time is
decided I have been told that someone that is involved will be making a post
informing others that wish to attend of the time and place for the get
together.
