<br>When you have dinner parties, what is discussed in those parties do not<br>stay inside of the house after the party is over, but are taken out to be discussed<br>with other people. That is the way ideas propagate. <br>
<br>Regarding the building of a successful FB pages, one cannot have a separate <br>group unless members are first actively sought out and invited, and material from all over<br>the Internet, mostly meaning articles, that is pertinent to the group is brought to group's page and posted by <br>
both the moderator and the members for discussion. Independent non-Internet discovered<br>issues may be brought up separately, but we exist to discuss what is going on the <br>world of both politics and technology from a libertarian perspective. So, the context providers to not just come on <br>
their own accord as in "build it and they will come." <br><br>Your point about not including people in a group without their permission 'as members," <br>however, is well taken. Some people do get upset when they are simply added to a group, and may<br>
complain if not asked, and I wish to avoid that. As a consequence, while our membership is approaching<br>500( and not everybody is a libertarian,) the discussions tend to more active by more members than <br>many groups with 1500-3500 people in them. <br>
