Look, the real issue is:

      Are you providing a PUBLIC service (and are thereby subject to
laws, rules and regulations regarding public services, but also,
perhaps, can receive monetary subsidies to help pay for it)?

	 or

      Are you providing a PRIVATE service available to those who YOU
decide to allow?  You CAN run a PRIVATE service if you choose to do
so.  Also, you can make your bulletin board system INVITATION only -
you can make it any way you want.  As long as you don't let EVERYONE
log on and use the system (ie., you have some sort of registering
service which DOES NOT include a GUEST account), you're probably ok
discriminating against whoever you choose, provided you set it down as
a written policy.  Certainly, the KKK doesn't have a bylaw that says
they are, of course, allowing blacks to join if they want, as they
can't discriminate due to federal statutes.
