Sorry for my extended silence; I let myself get swept off elsewhere and my mind flurried away.

Wow that sounds a lot less explanatory than I intended it to. Erm, to put it bluntly I had a lot of things in real life planned for the past week and simply didn't have the forewarning in order to warn people overly much that I would be gone a good deal of them. Combined with my naturally silent/lurkish nature, I was rather quiet xD

Apologies for that, but I'm quite solidly back for now.
