I see that my problem with TIPS has been finally resolved. I wish to share with all of you what happened.
I subscribe to TIPS through my personal Comcast email address. I posted a couple of messages a few days ago because not having seen anything posted in recent days I thought that the list had been too quiet. However, when I did not see my own messages in my inbox I knew there was a problem. I contacted Bill Southerly and he discovered that Comcast was blocking messages from TIPS. I immediately called Comcast and explained the situation to someone in God-knows-what-part-of-the-world and was told to give them 24 hours. Nearly forty eight hours later I was still not receiving TIPS messages. So, today I called again and, thankfully, I was eventually connected to a technician right here in NJ where I live. Just a few minutes ago the messages were finally unblocked and the technician who took care of my problem explained to me how this might have happened. It turns out that at Comcast senders are classified as spam by a vote, that is, if a certain number of Comcast customers mark messages from the same sender as spam on a given day or week, then that sender is automatically blocked as spam by the company. Most of you probably get TIPS through your institutions' email, but I suppose ant other subscribers to TIPS who use Comcast to get TIPS messages were also not receiving them. In sum, if you don't want to receive any messages from TIPS, please, please, please do some of us a favor and do not mark them as spam; simply unsubscribe from the list as per instructions that appear at the bottom of every single email message. Thanks. Miguel PS: Some of you may have already noted that the item I had posted about parachutes had already been posted separately by Stephen Black and later by Mike Palij.
