I Agree entirely with this (Phew!) I think the 'mass-lobby' was perhaps an

Mary,
It is difficult, at least for me, to understand what you are saying.
It seems to me that you are inventing a person to create a Master Source for an
event that doesn't yet exist.
If that, or something like it, is correct then just delete the person you have

Mary,
I believe that you don't need to set up a bogus individual to get this to work.
All you have to do is set up the Source like you want it to look and then
attach the source to an individual in your database. Then when you get a new

Suffice to say, there are issues that affect a few, that affect
