The basic assumption of EndNote is that a reference has a unique number in a
library (and that you will only use one library).  This makes each reference
unique, even when an author writes several articles in the same year.

Given this, we don't want to reuse the number, because it's possible to type
in a new reference with the same author and year, but a different title!

So for these purposes, please don't worry about the numbers: you can delete
thousands of references without messing up the record numbers.

Yours,
