I generally agree with this. Taking the time to make sure fires don't
happen is worth it to me. Whether that means using a ceramic coffee
cup, or metal box with foil coated fiberglass. You /DO/ leave an
incubator on when you're out of the house, unless you're a shut-in.
I also agree that this is more important in terms of publicity, a fire
from a crappy incubator WILL definitely BE BAD PRESS.
