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?

So, my next question would be: what happens if I delete an access filter? Do any posts with that filter just become private or friends locked?

I really want to use DW as a "clean slate" with tags, access filters, etc. I just don't want my entries to import as public or be turned public if the filters go away.

um, I have no idea!

I would guess they'd become private.

If you just want to import all your posts as private, then as someone said above, set your DW to private default, import, then set it back to normal, and the imported posts will stay private.
