Is Yannis still around?

Erm, yes he is. But he fails to see the connection between (any) "rich
westerners" (?!) driving 4x4s and the Greek fires. Human presence in a
highly flammable environment surely puts a mature and ready-to-burn
ecosystem in danger, especially after an extremely hot and dry summer
(where a plain average temperature severely fails to summarise the
weather conditions in the last three months).
What was your question? :-)

His question was "Can you spell lunacy?" apparently good spelling
makes a difference. I suppose it does in a manner of speaking.

Wouldn't a crew of rich gas guzzlers driving through forests in Greece
lessen the chances of fires getting out of hand? I would have thought
all the natural fire beaks they'd create would help.

Perhaps if they also had good grammar?
