Continuing to shout into the void here :)

Looks like our FOI request issue is already solved!

John,

This is amazing that you're already on the way with this. I am
astoundingly relieved that I don't have to follow through on this and

Actually, I'd be happy to help with anything you might need.

Would like a peek too!

Best,

Luke
