Importing LJ without tags and access lists

[fikgirl]

I have a question about importing. I want to import my LJ account, but I don't want to import the tags or the access lists/filters applied to the posts. If I import comments, it states that it will import all journal entries. Are the entries imported as public or private? I don't mind if everything imported is set to private initially. I can manually turn on which items I want to be public. I do, however, want to make sure that not everything shows up as public.

Does this make sense at all?

I believe the privacy will be set to whatever it was on the journal you're importing from, unless your default setting here is stronger. ie, if your default here is public, the privacy will be set exactly how it is on the other site; if your default is locked, it'll all be locked and/or private; and if your default is private, it'll all be private. You should be able to change your default to private here, then import your other journal, then set it back - that's what I did.

the entries are imported as whatever you had on LJ. I have a few public posts, a few private posts, and a lot of "friends only" posts. everything imported as the same: few public, few private, and a lot of "access list".
