I'm not about to start debating the merits of public opinion and ways to address issues.
Suffice to say, there are issues that affect a few, that affect segments, that affect all. These are issues affecting ALL Legacy users, not a few or segments. Whether you speak Chinese or Punjabi, have 1 same-sex partnership to deal with or 10. I'm sorry these issues aren't getting addressed by the Legacy staffers as quickly as those segments would like. These are global issues affecting everyone, they need fixing. The way to make the point of the impact these issues have on proper documentation is to weigh in with your vote. Not sitting on your hands. So this list doesn't make up the majority of Legacy users. I'd wager to say this group is among the most engaged and aware. Proportionately, their numbers speak volumes. A valuable resource for the Legacy staffers. Speak up, use the tool Legacy provides to be heard. Oh, and the last remark from me on this issue: To suggest that many people commenting on the value of needed improvements is on the same plane as "spam" is a terribly faulty analogy, and troubling. Back to joining the rest, posting our source pictures, record by record, word by word. ;) Gary -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ronald ferguson Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 9:20 AM To: legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Picture Center Updates to Individual Records--and Source Detail My guess is that this group's membership comprises only a very small proportion of the number of users of Legacy and in my view it would be extremely presumptious to make the assumption that even if a significant number of group members submitted such a request it would be statistically significant. It is quite likely that for some nations translation into their own language would have a much higher priority and I can think of other illustrations of priorities - not forgetting my continual gripe about the bugs in the pedigree web page program. I agree completely that spamming is not the way ahead - it merely wastes time that can be better spent. The debate has taken place, the suggestion has been made and no doubt the powers that be are aware of it.
