Thank you for your updates on this and several other corrections to the Event Place detail - mainly necessary due to an incorrect location appearing following the auto-standardization exercise. Perhaps you closed some of the other threads (on this general issue) a little too quickly, thus preventing other expressions of thanks for your part in getting at least some of the huge amount of reports resolved!
