What does TCLUG do now that puts the 
group at risk of a lawsuit?

What sort of things can/should not be 
attempted by TCLUG without becoming 
a 'not-for-profit' organization?

Isn't there a lengthy discussion of this 
topic in the TCLUG list archive?

No: that's a legal and insurance requirement.  State and Fed laws
affect
this.  The not-for-profit corporation becomes the "someone" in order
to
remove responsibility from individuals.  There's a bit more to it, and
maybe
a few options, but that's the short version.
...
There are many supportive things that cannot be done if involvement
means
taking risk of being sued.  
...
Note that the major or lasting groups that do "good works" are
actually
not-for-profit corporations.
