when writing a paper, when do you use footnotes and when do you cite on the page (endnotes)?

Asked by nomtastic (979points) March 2nd, 2007
i don't know if this is a matter of custom or convention. i think that footnotes are for specific references, and endnotes are for broad ideas by another author. *and please, don't refer me to the chicago - or any other - manual of style.*
