In terms of NN - I had thought this group was dead - but last year I received out of the blue an unsolicited 'invitation' to join a Nasc Nia (sp?) Yahoo (how appropriate?) discussion group. I followed up out of curiosity and tried signing up but the surprised administrator would not subscribe me to the discussion group so I have no idea how active it is or who is there. That the claims of the founder have been utterly discredited may not be enough to end a group - if it were then we would have no Order of St. Stanislas, silly false order of St. John or various supposedly surviving Templar groups.

Interesting, this may be a continuing manifestation of the Scottish-based rump of the Niadh Nask, which changed the spelling and claimed still to have historical evidence for the existence of the body. I checked groups.yahoo.com for Nasc Nia and variants, but found nothing, and wonder if they have retreated further underground.
