I am only referring to those times when you are using the Custom Cource
Categories and change to Mills or Lackey or Initialize to Mills or Lackey
while Custom is selected. In all cases, there is a notice that Custom
Source Categories will be overwritten by the selected "Most Similar To"
standard Source Category. The question was in regard to the implications
of selecting one set of Source Categories (e.g., Lackey) and then later
changing to a different set. The use of the word "disappear" is possibly
mis-leading in that your data will not be lost. But when changing sets of
Source Categories or Initializing to a different set, then any Custom
Source Categories will revert to the assigned standard Source Category. My
point was that these "losses" applied not only to Custom Source Categories
but also to altered standard Source Categories and that this only affected
the changes entered in the System Configuration Screen.

Hope this helps -
