Bruce, if this is the main reason they want the group, it has nothing to
do with Lego - Lego is incidental at best.

Lee:
LUGNET newsgroup theory is all about identifying subsets of interest
within the community and creating focused discussion groups for those
subsets, both LEGO-related and non-LEGO-related; it’s about creating
and nurturing individual areas large and small where like-minded people
can meet and discuss topics of interest to them without fear of being
off-topic or lost among the ambient noise if they post elsewhere.
Whether LEGO is, as you say, “incidental at best” in a new .glbt group
obviously remains to be seen; none of us can predict how incidental
or instrumental the role of LEGO would be in this case. However, the
very answer to that, I tell you, is not relevant here. What is relevant
is whether a given group is relevant in the LEGO community, not whether
it is relevant in the pure context of LEGO per se. That is the metric.

The primary reason is for them to be open and be approved of, despite you
saying this is not the case.

There are often multiple reasons supporting any new group request.
