Hi, Teresa:

I'm not sure what you mean. You seem to say that one thing is preferable to itself. "... just have several copies of the same photo? It seems that would be preferable than various copies of the same photo ..."

I'm trying out a new word, to see if I like it. "Illustration" can mean a graphic or text. So I will use "Illustration" to refer to the file object which has the content that will be linked to a person or Tag.

One of my biggest hopes for a "Master Illustration List" is that it would allow and encourage the file object to be stored only once. This can be done now. However, it would *also* allow and encourage that all data that is specific to the file object would be stored with it, and only with it. Only data that is specific to the link would be stored with the link.

The design should be well structured even though it is understood that TMG users will violate that design at the drop of a hat - often quite creatively.
