I almost hate mentioning this because I know it will start another
debate. When I import data, my ONLY source is the person or
organization that provided me the data. Their sources are not my
resources.
Problem solved.

I am an avid user of Legacy and make good use of the Intellishare
process
whilst sharing a large file with a group of researchers around the
world.
Unfortunately, I am plagued by a duplicate source problem which gets
worse
each time I do a reconciliation with the rest of the group. I have
posted
about this problem before and have received a great deal of help from
Michel
Lacoursiere, who has described in great detail on this List a process
which
can be used to remove these duplicates.
I am finding, however, that there are some drawbacks with this system.
It
involves creating a gedcom of the file concerned and then importing it
into
a new file. This removes duplicates where there are only two copies of
each
source, but in my case, after a good deal of reconciliation, some pieces
of
information may have six or eight identical sources attached to the
event.
It would therefore entail me gedcoming the file out and back in again
several times to get the whole process done and anyway the duplicates
just
keep coming back!
There are one or two further complications...
