Agreed, and since some of us live more in that world than this I hoped to keep us all connected one way or another

I live in my own world. The woodland elves tell me that all the time.

It's not a big deal to me. It is more of a curiosity deal. I'm curious as to what the value of a Facebook group, if any, ends up being. Since this group, for the most part exists for talking to each other, I don't see the value of saying that this talking (under the umbrella of the group) will happen in two different places. So either one or the other will fade away or the group will constantly be repeating itself in both locations (as with all the people who simply mirror everything they say to every social network site). Or a value will develop that I'm completely not thinking of.

And that which I find interesting to think about, I talk about.

For people who can't or won't use Facebook (I'm not in that camp because I use Facebook, I just don't use Facebook for the purpose filled by LoT), I can see why it might be a big deal for an important social circle to at least partially move to where they aren't.

Ok, I take that back. Just went back to Facebook and more **** related to the group was on my screen (some kind of chat window). Rather than tracking down how to turn off (I closed it, but it returned within a couple of minutes) everything I don't want to see I just left the group.

If it looks like I'm missing anything great and want back in I'll ask and you all can say no then.

I'm generally annoyed by online chat of any kind. I don't initiate FB chat, or yahoo mail chat, or any other format. I prefer the LoT thread, message board format. I can take things one bit at a time as opposed to trying to keep up with a live chat.

I see Lot People.

On the CNN home page. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

There's a setting you can disable.

Lani's still there, she can reinstate you whenever you want

What makes you think she'd let a poseur like me in? She has standards.

The chat thing rather freaked me out. Not sure how I feel about it, but minimizing it seems to bring me to a place where I look at it when I'm in the mood.
