David, I agree with you. This list, like life in general, has its share of negative people who are not happy unless they are whining and complaining because things aren't exactly as they would wish. They make life miserable for people but I have found that it is best to ignore them ... they eventually go away. We all know who the whiners on this list are ... let's ignore them and hope they go away too.
Wayne Martell Victoria, BC Canada ============================================================================ ======== From: "David Wild" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Version 6 Lost Battle Ad Nauseam Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2006 09:50:27 -0800 Reply-To: [email protected] To all Legacy email list members: Please note that this is not intended as a flame directed at any individual, but it is meant to vent my own frustrations at what is going on too often on this email list. I have been using Legacy "from the beginning" and I love it. Of course there are some bugs - but what software program does not have bugs? Frankly, I look to the list to read questions and responses, including work-arounds for issues, but I am really getting tired of hearing complaints that are just repeats ad nauseam of the same issues already expressed many times before. A request for a change is fine ONE time or a report of "possibly" finding a bug. But when the same issues the "me too" folks report 500+ times - those are complaints ad nausem and not helpful suggestions. Perhaps a solution would be for the Millennia folks to set up an on-line site linked to their main site that could be accessed by users to report feature requests or bugs. If someone wants a program modification or wants to report a bug, that would be the place to go - AFTER checking to see if it's already been reported ONCE. I have faith that the Millennia folks can read as well as the rest of us (or better than some) and will work with those user requests as soon as possible - or provide work-arounds in the meantime. Perhaps if such a site were created as a link from the main Millennia site, the complaints would stop on this list - or at least I would hope so. It not, it tells me there are people who find pleasure in complaining - and perhaps go through life looking for bad things or bad things to happen in the best of situations. If so, I would appreciate them just dropping Legacy if they simply want to complain in a non-helpful way. For starters, could we please stop using such negative Subject lead-ins as "Legacy Version 6 Lost Battle" ad nauseam? Example of a repeated negative email I received recently that was not helpful: Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Legacy Version 6 Lost Battle "(Snip) It seems Millennia should have done a little research before implementing the Research Guidance module. (Snip) is a total waste (Snip) It is entirely too cumbersome to be useful." "I'm not sure why Millennia is more interested in bells and whistles than they are in releasing a program that doesn't have a lot of bugs that are reported over and over and yet there seems to be no attempt to fix them."
