I am trying to understand what Michael described - because I am wondering 
if I should create separate databases for each 'subject/topic' or just 
create hierarchical tags - but then how do I review only one subject at a 
time? is it done through the 'browse cards' and selecting or de-selecting 
cards based on type and tags?
