Oh, Rich, if only that was true. For sometime now, Legacy has had a bug which insists on printing "Unknown" even when one sets "Please use Blank". I must have used over 100MegaWatts of power informing Legacy of this ongoing problem, but alas, to no avail.
Every time I update my website I add to the atmospheric carbon content by using yet more power to eradicate this "unknown" monstrosity from my webpages! Naturally, in written reports this same bug is responsible for the "somebody" who got married to the daughter/son of yet another "unknown", thus destroying our planet even further. Yes, Legacy, soon we will all be history and our Ancestry Charts will be compiled by those still trying to remove "unknowns" from their, and our, scripts, whilst computer failure increases exponentially due to the high external temperatures.
