Re: Recording events in slave genealogy


In defence of the OP, if one posts a query about how to do something
with a specific piece of software, and only gets back messages
saying "don't use that software", it can be as frustrating as asking
directions from someone at the side of the road only to be told
"don't start from here"!

True. "How do I [whatever] in MyProgram?" does not equal an inquiry
as to what program is better/worse/different than MyProgram.

Nor, for that matter, is it an invitation to tout another OS. (g)

already knows there's Linux and then there's consumer-grade
schlock. - Mod <-- Grinning, ducking, and running ]
