And, sheesh, if that is an indication of the way Calibre people take on new ( to them ) ideas, I will stay well away !

stonehat, you will generally find the people in this forum very helpful but you have hit a bit of a "oh no, here we go again" topic.
It's actually not a weird structure at all, it's simple and logical. As far as I remember this is also the sort of structure that iTunes uses for music.
Disk space is cheap but if you really don't want 2 copies sitting around, (and 2 copies can mean they get out of sync), then, after adding to calibre's library, you could replace your original with a link/shortcut to the calibre version.
