Yes, I will miss Annette and Don, but hopefully they will check in from time to 
time.   Given the same reasoning Annette used tho, we should stop subscribing 
to TV...instead of simply turning it off or changing channels.  The delete key 
is our option for posts or threads that we might not be interested in.  TIPS 
remains a valuable resource for sharing info, teaching struggles, classroom 
tips, exploring different perspectives, and just venting.  I find the 
perspectives useful to illustrate the challenges of critical thinking and 
courtesy.  I also try not to take psychology, myself, or the field too 
seriously and TIPS has really helped there!   Of course, this may just be a 
false memory, but it's a kind that is good to construct.   Gary

There IS a way, but alas, it was Annette Taylor, who unhappily (for us) has
left TIPS who told us how to do it. So for now, I'll just be saving the link
and hoping it stays up.
(I also miss Don McBurney, who left for the same reason...)

On second thought, maybe I'll email Annette and tell her I miss her on TIPS.
 She was one of our most frequent and thoughtful contributors.  I was
surprised that no one commented about our loss, but then I didn't either.
