Mike, I totally agree...and I'm sorry to say that is seems to be the norm here...with the same players usually. They can take a subject & turn it around to a witch-burning so fast you have a huge download of useless messages in an instant. And when someone speaks up against the practice they turn on them.
They never seem grateful for the wonders they have, only gripe about bits of imperfection & ask for more. If it was my list, it would be -flame once, warning- flame twice, banned. I don't know how the Legacy staff stays so calm...Chocolate must be involved... <g> They are good people with a good product & for a VERY reasonable price. Hey... maybe Legacy can start a second list for grownups... people with manners who know how to discuss problems & solutions without getting snide, rude & insulting??? LOL Sally Hi Ward, Thanks for a thoughtful and articulate post. I am a new user of Legacy, having recently switched over from TMG v7 to Legacy 7, and have been hovering along the side-lines of this list for the past couple of weeks or so. I have never used Legacy 6. I have also been a database developer for many years, and after trying out most of the competing products I settled on Legacy as the best choice, bugs or not. The only other genealogy mailing list that I have been associated with is the TMG list. And although I have come to prefer Legacy to TMG, I must say that during the 2 years that I used it and participated in its mail list, I never encountered the lack of respect for the feelings of other users that I have seen here recently. I always found the TMG list to be extremely helpful. But, as a total newcomer to the Legacy-world, I find myself hesitating to post here. I would hope that the anger, frustration and bad feeling toward the developers and also toward other posters that I have observed here lately is a transient thing, rather than the norm.
