Just a little note in response to the many kind people of the layo community who have inquired.
A few of us Layonarans - Australian chapter, do indeed live real close to the bad bushfires that I am told have even made the news in the States. Indeed, some pretty serious ones were even in the suburb of our own coder extraordinaire ScriptWrecked. However, hopefully the worst of them has passed and everyone from Melbourne who plays here is safe and sound.
Cheers, Pseudo.
