Why two similar fields?

I am just wondering why there are both Comments and Notes fields.

Does anyone use both, and if so what are the differences in your use?

The notes field started out life as buying and selling related notes, shipping options and such, but it got a wider following as a more general field, so we placed it into the extras tab instead of the selling tab.

From a librarian's point of view, I use notes to comment on the physicality of the item being catalogued and comments on any other aspect - gift, condition, and so on.
