>>The last time I pressed the issue Bob said that one of the purposes of the
witness feature was to eliminate the need for each subject to have their own
tag (eg. census tag) and hence there shouldn't be the need for bulk copying
of tags. <<

That's a valid point, really. I've sometimes wondered if I could achieve the
same thing using *only* witnesses that I do with Diane's census system. I'll
be honest, I haven't actually tried it yet to see. But I know that at the
very least I'd miss the ability to click from the Census-Head's page to an
enumerated person's page via the tag -- I know this because on some of my
tags I was lazy or interrupted or sloppy and didn't finish setting up the
full gamut of Cen-Enum tags for the household members, and when I run across
those folks it irritates me every single time. ;)

An argument could be made, of course, that I could click to those folks
using the sibling or child lists, but the folks enumerated aren't always
family members, and the PE isn't always convenient. (Jumping from Viles to
Adams is a real pain ... )

Now if we could find in the PE window by typing, that'd be a whole different
barrel of apples ...
