Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list
Gordon, You can search the Facebook group. There are various controls to limit the results. The search may not be quite as good as the search of the email archives but either it's better than it was or I've learnt how to use it better. But there's nothing to stop people asking the same question again on FB just as there's nothing to stop people asking the same question again here on the mailing list. Few check the list archives before asking. Cathy Gordon Findlay wrote: The problem with Facebook as a platform for user group support is that there is no real archive.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list
You do realize that non Legacy users can subscribe to this mailing list just as easily as they can “apply” to join the Facebook group. The mailing list is no more or no less family than the Facebook group is.

Re: [LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list
And on this mailing list I feel I can grouse a little bit if I need to. I realize the FB group is restricted to members only, but it is still more public. I don’t want to criticize Legacy in public, as it has been a wonderful program for me, and I don’t want non-users to misunderstand. The mailing list is more “in the family.” Donna From: Gordon Findlay Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2017 6:29 PM To: Legacy User Group Subject: [LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list The problem with Facebook as a platform for user group support is that there is no real archive.

[LegacyUG] Facebook or mailing list
The problem with Facebook as a platform for user group support is that there is no real archive.
