I have been a bit bust too and will try to look up the last few days, but just spotted this thread.
I don't know much more than Chris. I last spoke to Fonty more than a week or so ago by instant messenger and he should have moved house the middle of last week. He has been a bit reclusive of late.
I can see that he is back online through a social networking site, so I assume he is fine. If anyone wants to say hello or give a message to him in this thread over the next day or so, I will email him all your comments in one big email and see if he responds.
Or of course you could choose to message him in Curezone!
