That's a very bad view of the UG world. Of course I think you're wrong.
Yes, all UGs benefit from the enthusiasm and time of younger people, but if you look at the most successful JUGs in the world, they aren't driven by drunk babies. On the contrary, people like Daniel De Oliveira (DFJUG), Stephan Janssen (BeJUG), Bruno Souza (SouJava), Gregg Sporar and many others (like me) are guys closer to the 40th birthday than to the 20th. Wife and kids included.
And, please, don't consider a JUG meeting only a way to hear 30 minutes PPT presentations. There's much more than that. Meetings are one of the best ways I know to socialize, meet new faces and (yes!) make new *real* business.
