Thanks Steve and others for sticking your necks out on this.

I think it needed to be done (although perhaps I am not as aware of the
problem as I don't see his e-mails, only the various occasional
responses).

CodeOfConduct is a good idea - starting to make CLUG look almost like

and a committee and a bank account and ... to be a real grown-up group).
