Yes, a bit of a mix in that I am singularly entering an email or message post as a MASTER SOURCE. But then again, many emails, or message board posts provide data on multiple individuals. And, in some cases with message boards posts it can be difficult or tedious to find them - thus a singular reference, which depending on the message board, may have a unique URL which can be used as the Page/Reel entry or at least so noted in the Actual test for the MASTER SOURCE. I considered using emails from one individual as a MASTER SOUCE but in most cases I have only one or very few from any one individual used as a source - so I just made them individual MASTER SOURCEs. BK handles the source lookup well IF you take the time to structure the Abbreviation consistently.
