That's what I was thinking. Then if Astrid (sorry Astrid) or someone else
wanted the same illustration, but with a different caption, they would just
have two illustrations in the Master Illustration list. Like I now have 200
census sources in my Master Source list.

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.
