Connie, I agree with you! I just spent the last month trying to clean up my 718 ugly and inadequate sources that were caused by moving from a shareware genealogy program to Legacy. Importing the sources via GEDCOM caused a big mess and the sourcing was awful. I am down to 239 sources now, about half are in the nice SW format. My last big push will be to consolidate SSDI sources, then US Census. Then I quit!! The rest of them can sit around until I have more time. I want to do research, not housekeeping.
That said, my perfectionist personality keeps nagging me to "fix" this!! The one plus from all this work is that I'm correcting a few errors and becoming familiar with my database again, after a couple years away from it.
