I also believe in citing your sources, but like you, find some of ESM's method
too wordy, so have shortened some of them (sometimes I have to shorten to get
it to work in Legacy because of the limitation on the number of characters
allowed).
Each of the major genealogy magazines has developed its own footnote style
guide, and they're all different, so if you submitted an article to them, you'd
still have to change your footnotes.

I have always been a big believer in ESMs method of citing your sources but
after completely my BCG portfolio, I am starting to think it is overkill. I
think I can cite the necessary info in a shorter, easier to read format and
thus would start using the Basic Style to record my sources. My only concern
is submitting any work for publication. Will genealogical publications
consider your work if your reports are NOT in the ESM style? I wrote a
genealogy column for the newspaper for 5 years and I have had several minor
articles published in genealogical magazines but nothing in the big ones like
the NGS quarterly. I use Legacy for all of my data and then I extract it as
needed. Changing from Sourcewriter back to Basic would be a big step for me
and I dont want to mess myself up when it comes to submitting material for
publication.
