Jeff: Your unlinked "possibles" wouldn't really be lost since you could easily see them in View > Tree Finder. If I have solid source references on individuals, or especially on a small family group, I include it in my database although unlinked. Who knows? If posted, the names and sources could be of use to someone else. I have 5 unlinked trees like that and they range from two to 160 individuals. If all I have is a name and a suspicion, I'd put that in my notes (where it really can get lost!) rather than entering as individuals.

By this I mean individuals who might be related but for which there has not yet been a connection made. Entering them just as unlinked individuals would cause them to be lost within the database. I suppose tagging would be a useful way to track them, as would entering them in a separate database file, but how do others handle this in Legacy?
