Absences:
The holiday madness is soon upon us, comrades! It is going to transform the landscape of my life a bit, and there will sometimes be bigger gaps between posts. Please don't take it for lack of interest or involvement -- It'll all be back to normal, soon enough!
December in particular: I will have pretty good post availability those first two weeks of December. Decreasing in the third, and then you won't hear from me much during X-mas week, probably.
