Kay,
With all due respect, please show me where I said honoring people for
their contributions was not sunstantive. I can honor people without
having to resort to a cutesy icon. When I was in school, I didn't need
a teacher to put a colored star on my forehead to show I did a good
job. I don't need to add an icon to an event to show I am honoring
someone. by virtue of doing my research and entering the information
in my database, I am honoring them.
Quoting Kay Keating <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Ron: "Cutesy non value added bells and whistles" is
hardly the way I'd describe giving special recognition
to ancestors and/or relatives who have made outstanding
and significant contributions to our lives and to our
country.
With the Sailing Ship Icon, I am giving special
acknowledgement to brave emigrant ancestors who made
the arduous and dangerous ocean voyage to start a new
life in this country. With the Military Emblem Icon, I
am saying "Thanks" for my ancestor's military service
to this country. Anyone who has put their life on the
line for me deserves a salute in my book.
I'm sorry, you consider giving credit where credit is
due is of no value and not substantive. What is the
point in compiling a genealogy? Is anyone going to
read endless pages of b&w text reciting dates and
places? A little colored Icon draws a reader's
attention to extraordinary people.
I'm happy to see there are others on this list who want
to acknowledge ancestors who made valuable and
substantive contributions to their lives.

===============================================
Sorry but I would much rather see the developers put
the resources into
correcting all of the outstanding problems/issues with
the program. I
think the program has enough cutesy non value added
bells and whistles. Legacy is falling behind the
programs that are adding substance not bells and
whistles.
