You don't see the reason to change - doesn't means that it's not exist :)

Sending_link instead of invite_and_notification on site ... is it the revolutionary contemporary approach Andrew speaks about all the time?

By your decision you taking from us ability to decide what to show and when to show. More than this: you pushing our users to go inconvenient, non-clear, strange way despite existence of good, working, world-standard one. It is in FB, it is in D7, why it so bad to UNA?

But let imagine for a minute that current option IS better. Let me ask you some simple questions to clarify that:

- why it necessary (to your knowledge) to show list of closed group?

- how it improve the privacy of closed group members?

- how it encourage users to join closed group?

We still talking about social networking and we have to keep in mind social behavior of our customers.

I'd understand answer like: "we're sink in bugs for now, but it will be changed once we get thing in order, 10 milestone created". It's good, acceptable answer I've totally stand by.  With all due respect and thankful for your kind personal help - I can't say same words about your current answer.
