Maybe I am just old fashioned; but why can't someone just ask a simple question and get a simple answer without being chided for not perusing over an innumerable amount of archived messages that will not guarantee that he will find an answer? He already consulted the manual before posting a question and found that it contained erroneous information. How can anyone be sure that the information in archived messages is up to date? I have a job that involves training students and also entry level employees to my profession. If you want to put yourself in the position of helping people learn something, then be prepared to be asked the same questions by various people who have less experience then you and who just want to learn. This is a support forum! Next time someone gets lost while driving, and needs to stop somewhere and ask directions, try lurking for awhile to get the feel of it.

I suppose I'm old-fashioned, but I remember a time when it was considered common politeness both to read the archives of a group and "lurk" for a while to get the "feel" of it. -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
