My understanding, Dell, is that normal copyrights continue even on FB. That said, they "own the rights" to use anything you post while it is still on Facebook. They don't own your image. You still do. As an example, if you posted a photo only to "Friends", only friends could see it. If one of your friends "shared" the photo, only the friends you have in common would see it (redundancy). If one of your friends actually downloaded the image, then used it to advertise their business, then, after unfriending them, you could file a lawsuit just like usual. If you post to the "Public", it could be shared with any member of Facebook, but, if anybody downloads the image and uses it as their own, you have the same rights as before, whether Facebook is involved or not. A Facebook Page is what is needed. Use it like a billboard, and to put a face on the society. You could have, "advice of the day" quips, faqs, plant biographies, advertise events; stuff like that. Concerning groups, you would probably benefit from a "closed group", IF you are willing to appreciate and realize that you will then be running two forums; the group and the listserv. Some people will use exlusively one or the other. Others will use both. It's not necessarily duplicated effort if it increases your interaction with more people. One billion people is a lot of people. Some of them like growing flower bulbs.
