About the group settings, I think closed would be best. We can invite those
whom we want to invite without having to deal with random visitors (or
family members for that matter).

We will not close this group or anything. I think Lawrence does not have
FB and we don't want to lose his poetry. Besides, we can use this group as
a sort of meta for the group on FB.

Ok, John. I'm convinced. I have no objections. If I had the patience to
figure out how to upload photos I'd probably have more patience for
facebook. Usually, though, I wind up feeling sadly excluded from all the
travel, the festivities. More distanced, emotionally. Common reaction, I
hear, and actually painful when I see the rare photo of my own
grandchildren. (My age is more disabling than I expected it to be, due to
50 years of rheumatoid arthritis. Travel is no longer on my agenda.)
I guess we're moving!

Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: The value of lit-ideas
Carol,
I am not keen on FB. I am tied via FB to all sorts of people in multiple
networks around the world. Can’t expect them to move on my whim. Also, as I
pointed out, FB does have several advantages. For me the ease of uploading
images or video and the ability to edit or delete previous posts or
comments make FB more congenial than our current email format.
Privacy is not a big concern. I am old (turning 75 in August). I am not
worried about people knowing or posting scandalous things that might impact
my career. If II write foolish things, it is no big deal.
Besides, Facebook already allows the creation of closed groups, in which
only members can see what is posted.

Would anyone here be interested in moving lit-ideas to Facebook?
Hi John, Omar & All,
I’m not keen on FB. Will go along with whatever lit-id does. Hate to
lose this email format, though. And isn’t FB about to launch something like
what we already have here, in the name of privacy?
