I was doing this, but my database got HUGE (and not because of exhibits -
min are all external, and I haven't added many yet anyway), and the only
reason anyone can suggest is the amount of material I was keeping in the
Citation Detail. As I had only those sources that I have founbd since
starting to use TMG, and not all of the ones that I found before then, I
could only boggle at what might happen if I continued to do this.
