Hello again,
I think between all of you, you have answered my questions. I was using the
wrong term.. Where I said 'citation' I should have said 'source detail'.. and
you do explain how you use it. ;-)
The interesting thing is that there are as many ways of using sources and
source detail as there are genealogists or family historians! Everyone has a
little twist.

Well, actually, I usually just use the "Detail" for page number, or I
probably put in the url for this specific post but if the poster has cited a
specific source I would definitely put it in the detail because I'd want to
be able to see readily that he was doing that. Or if I had 2 emails from
the same person on the same date I'd put the time of the email in the
detail.
For example with a census, I'd have a separate master source for every year,
state, and county -- and repository (online or physical) -- and even
township (if I had a WHOLE BUNCH for the same county)--and then I'd put the
page number in the detail.
No, for comments I'd put that in the detail text or comment area, but if I
say "citing (another specific source)" I'd want that to appear as part of
the citation.
You may want to check out www.genforum.com. It's a great way to find others
working on the same families, pose queries, etc. I've connected with a
number of cousins via Genforum, and the format is great and easily
accessible. One warning. There are separate forums for, e.g., Schneider,
Snider, and Snyder -- whch can be a bit of a nuisance.
