Thank you for this response!

My purpose of finding the original link to the event was to hierarchically
cluster maximal cliques. I see the case two different case scenarios that
will not make this possible. If I am interested in all events attended by
all members such that

In Case #2:  (A,B) --> E1 and (A,C) --> E2

What is the computational cost for this step?
