I suspect the list has gone quiet in recent weeks because many TIPsters are too busy dealing with tree surgeons, roofers, electricians and contractors and/or are busy reworking their courses to accommodate lost time. A big storm like Sandy recalibrates priorities. To those, I hope you can resume some semblance of "normal life" soon.
Several long-time TIPsters have moved into roles as chairs and administrators at their institutions. The crush of email in these roles leaves little time for reading or responding to the many posts on TIPS. I believe Stephen Black retired a few years ago. The amusements of retirement can be equally distracting! :-) Like many, I miss Stephen's insights. (Same for several others who have gone quiet on TIPS.) As for the bloggers, they might be excluded from a certain "other" managed list (is this the List That Must Not Be Named?), but rest assured they are active on multiple lists. I receive 3 copies of every post they send to TIPs, although the other lists all have very different discussion purposes. Makes me speculate about the motivations for this posting behavior. That said, each poster has fans or is tolerated in silence on these lists. We all know how to cope with email that doesn't interest us.
