Well because you posted the question and referance NELUG twice I thought I
should respond.
First I hope you don't think NELUG ever lied or tried to cover up the fact that
we had an over 18 rule. Quite the opposite in fact which I think is why we got
hammered for it, not because we lied about anything.
Now back to the question. I think any group can set whatever rules for
membership it wants and as long as they are up front about it just leave it at
that. If that leaves someone out for whatever reason then they should feel
free to start their own group.
That's my $.02
