Bob, Good Point and well explained- I really thought that I was documenting everything correctly- I now know that I have a lot of work ahead of me. Oh well, perhaps now I won't complain when its raining outside and I can't work out in my yard- good reason to spend days off on the putter.

Someone once explained it to me this way: You want to document the actual "end product" (or "beginning product" - depends on your viewpoint!) as the source. Just because you happen to find it on the web or in a database is immaterial to the "end product" itself. That would be like finding book "A" at the local town library and again finding the same book at the big-city library. The Library (ie: the internet, the database) is not the source - the book is. The Library (or internet site or database) is the repository (ie: where you found the book or where you found the section of the book). So the repository is "where you read it", the book (or original book if it is a "snippet") is the source.
