Facebook, for all its fault, is an indispensable tool in my life, with family and friends spread across four continents. But I am selective about joining groups. Obviously LUG, a group for our office art club, a Fuji X group (not too bad for an equipment-oriented group), and a local group called Americans in Alicante where those of us who have lived here for a while help newcomers by answering questions and directing them to various resources. I have in the past been in the Ricoh GR group but recently quit it out of frustration over the low standard of the photos posted and the lack of willingness of most members to accept constructive criticism. And I have in the past been in the Leica Portrait Group and some B&W photo group whose name escapes me now. I quit both because they were merely an excuse to post photos of scantily clad women and calling it art.
