I agree that I would never post anything to a discussion list that I didn't want published to the entire world (and I don't live under any narcissistic delusions about people clamoring for my opinion on most issues).
However, there is another issue to address these days that I had not considered until I did a Google search on my name like Riki did. The last time I did it, it was a fairly boring list of things I was already aware of. However, this was before the advent of blogging. My current result (besides the usual dry stuff and links to people who share my name) gets one link to a blog where a post of mine from TIPS was referenced. My guess is that the author of the blog did a Google search of the internet on their topic of interest and saw my post on the topic archived from TIPS and just included it in their blog. It was properly attributed but it did seem strange to see myself quoted in full in a place I did not know about until I did the search. I think with the increase of blogging, statements (especially ones on current events) we make on the list might be likely to show up all over the place, out of context and without us knowing about it. I recommend that anyone who is interested should try a Google search on your name (assuming it is not an extremely common one) and see what you find.

I assumed that it's just that non-teachers get quickly bored with the lack of discussions about sex and crazies and move on.
