I'm one of those who monitor the Facebook group when Michele is asleep.
It's a friendly group and I don't very often have to step in to stop
commenting or delete a post or comment. Occasionally, like today, I look
at my email first, but most days I go to Facebook first.
I read every post and almost all comments as a moderator, but you don't
have to. Many users just drop in when they want to know something. We
are very relaxed about posts on the same topic even if it was discussed
yesterday, just as you are here. If it's completely identical someone
will just post the link to the earlier discussion. Yes you can search
the Facebook group but the search is flaky. eg someone searched it
recently for adoption and got no hits whereas I did the exact same
search an hour or so later and got screens full, which is one of the
reasons we don't complain when people don't find for themselves the
earlier conversation.
The one thing I hate is when people here cross post and I find their
email here before I find their Facebook post. It's so much easier to
respond on Facebook. It's only sometimes possible to copy and paste to
email.
I belong to a lot of Facebook genealogy groups but don't check them all
regularly. I may post to my own Facebook page on average once a year -
probably less and although I have friended a number of people, I don't
very often read my "news feed." Facebook is what you make it.

I think everyone needs to keep in mind what terrific service
Legacy/MyHeritage offer their users - whether through mail list or
Facebook Group, through video tutorials online at Legacy Webinars or
through the Help section found in the Legacy software. And if you
don't want to "keep up" with Legacy on Facebook, but only use it as
needed for your issues - simply use the search feature, I find it very
handy. For a very reasonable cost of the software, Legacy offers so
many ways of assisting their customers at no cost to us - just a
little time as we learn how best to use our software. Thanks for all
you and others do with Facebook, blog posts, and cross posting to the
Mail Group.

I monitor it that much because I want to not because I have to :)

I am comfortable with Facebook, but the Legacy Group there is not
worth my time. There are just too many posts to wade through -- as you
admit, it takes all your waking hours. And (last I looked) so many of
the posts were beginner questions or a rehash of old topics. It's
almost like we could use two groups, one for newbies and one for
old-timers.
But, thank you, Michele, for the work you do to help all users.

I've taken myself off Legacy and, though you're quite convincing,
Michelle, about the advantages, I'm not going back. Like Georges, I'm
very contented with emails.
