I use a nautical expression because I am referring to 'AussieD', aka: David Axup, formerly an officer in the Australian Navy who has long been a valued commenter here at 'D&N'. He appears, rather suddenly, to have gone 'a.w.o.l. from these, er, distinguished columns and I am worried about him. I sent him a questioning e-mail on Sunday but so far no response. I don't suppose anyone else is linked to him in any way but if you are I would like some info.
I have wondered as well. We have read about extensive wild fires in eastern Oz, but I don't know if he is near them. Hope all is well.

I believe he lives in Melbourne, which is nowhere near any fires. I shall make enquiries.
