I also would like to see Legacy return to its core function.

Following recent suggestions for additions to Legacy I received the email below from a long standing user of Legacy. As his views broadly speaking reflect mine I thought members of LUG may be interested in an alternative perspective.

I've been a LEGACY user / supporter since their first version in the early '90s and am always amazed with how ... in every new version ... they are adding more and more "features" to what SHOULD be a Family History / Genealogy program ... mainly to satisfy people who don't want to ( or are unable to ) use / invest in a word processor, photo editing, etc. etc., program(s), but are always "demanding" that tools like those be added to the program. All the arguments about being "needed" and / or ( maybe ) useful might be valid for some, but just tend to clutter up and detract from the programs intended function ... that of a Genealogy program. All the postings on the users group site tend to reflect that by all the "confusion" all these additions are causing. I am not subscribed to the list, because I got tired of reading all the "wish list" and endless complaints because "something can't be figured out" postings ... I periodically read the list archives and find many of the postings borderline comical. It makes me wonder how these people even find time to actually DO any Family History research, and what they would do if they had to use the "old" before computers pencil, paper, phone, and mail method of research. Please ... leave the program as it's intended to be!
