P.S.

Interesting to note about the liability insurance thing. It's not really a problem here in Canada for small groups, although I've heard of a couple of major events being cancelled, and I wonder what the difference is.

I also wonder how long until it becomes a problem here.

As our local building inspector once told me: "The best way to stop people from being burned in large numbers is to prevent them from gathering in large numbers." That's what he saw as his job.
