I agree. I'm sure we all do very much appreciate the invariably timely and helpful responses from Cathy and Michele to posted problems on this list.
However I think it would also solve some of the angst if any Legacy announcements could also be posted to this list. It can't be that hard. We don't need all the Facebook posts, only any "announcements", whether formal or not. "Legacy News" is not enough. Yes, FB might have some advantages over this list, but the reality is that a significant proportion of faithful Legacy customers just do not want to join Facebook. Please, do not "leave us in the dust". Peter At 17:17 08-01-19 -0800, Sherry H wrote: PLEASE!! REREAD what I wrote. I'm not expecting whole conversations from FB to be posted here. If a staff member posts and announcement, such as build release, new webinar, reduced rates for MyHeritage or upgrade prices for Legacy or Legacy products = THOSE should be posted on the LUG list. Tips would also be nice. How-to only if someone on the LUG list asks. How hard is that to understand? FB Notifications are IMPOSSIBLE. I've turned them off in most of the groups I am a member of (I have no "Friends" on FB as they're insane as well - I've seen some of the threads and no way do I have the time or energy for that nonsense!) and have few showing only in FB. I will not get them by text or email. Even if they're not Legacy posts. FB is so changeable that FB Purity has a hard time keeping up. Plus it seems to slow FB down, at least for me. I do subscribe to the LUG email. However, it seems that FB is quicker for notifications as those are posted right away and the LUG email is generally quite behind. S.
