Why, you ask. Let me turn it around - what do you think is so good about the way it is now, with all of the duplicates?????

As to giving my input, is not this very category the prescribed way to do that? I realize that there is also the UT Tracker thing, but I chose to use this way in hopes of getting additional comment/support from more people. I understand that Michel takes things here as "input".
As for maybe still not working the way I want... at least something aimed at reducing duplicates would definitely be on the way to what I want.
