Don, you say, "But the word is PRIVATE Club which in the eyes of the law: a law which differes from state to state, implies invitation only."

then,

"And as for asking the "Experts" I'm one of them what is asked in Syracuse and surrounding environs."

Which means unless GUEST's friend is in or near Syracuse, they should ask an expert in their local area.

I admit that I didn't realize you were saying you were a expert in legal requirements for ADA compliance when I advised GUEST to ask an expert. When you wrote "I also assess for compliance with the ADA" I thought you meant you assessed compliance by a specific facility, not that you were responsibile for determining which facilities had to comply. My mistake.

I think if you're dealing with a vindictive person, it seems like there are quite a few ways of dealing with this sanely. I'd be interested in hearing how this is resolved.
