If anyone's posting info about events, yes it does make sense to specify which country the event is in because of the duplication of place names in UK, US, and the Antipodes. People have quite often said that they'd gone to a thread and then realised that the event described wasn't on the same continent.

I agree that there are times when such a change may indeed make sense - and if it makes sense to the originator - they will probably specify the county in the title they choose. And if they don't - and a change is suggested to them - they will probably agree to such a proposal.

All I am suggesting is that to place this in a thread title or not - should be left to the originator.

For why should any change be automatically imposed by some anonymous fellow poster without the originator's knowledge or permission?
