As I recall, Steve Z. is based in Vermont, and I think at least one more regular contributor to this forum is based in one of the recently inundated areas.

I have no objection to someone voicing concern for the welfare of another when circumstances warrant. Times have been difficult - more so for some. More compassion needs to be reintroduced in our daily interactions. I think his was very kind of you Alexander.

Agreed. We may be virtual, but we are a community of sorts. No harm in a bit of caring and compassion, especially when natural disasters strike.

I second what has been said. And on the topic of of outliners being used for climate-related problem-solving, the developer of the Sense editor has created a Sense document detailing his proposal for a “Carbon Added Tax”:

I was drawn to this forum by the thoughtful and intellectual tone of the conversation. My interest in writer’s tools made this place naturally attractive but it wouldn’t be the same without the sense of community and fellow travelers.

Indeed, best wishes to all under threat of dangerous weather. I wish I were close enough to help.
