My sense is that this is perfectly normal behavior from Dr. Bob. Same stuff, different day/month/year.
He is busy. Really busy. "Too" busy? {shrug} That's only for him to personally choose, I suppose.
He does not/cannot/ will not give babble any higher priority than he does, no matter how we complain and wish for that.
It's January - a new semester at school. He works at a large school; he may still counsel students. he may be extremely busy. And that is without knowing of any other projects and/or professional and personal commitments and responsibilities he has.
Babble is a website and a community that he has been deeply invested in for many years....but it is still not #1, never has been, never will be IMO, unless he retires from his pdoc job or drastically changes his life.
When I and others have said this before usuully posters respond that if this is so, Dr. Bob should allow others to run Babble, get student help, etc. All good ideas but he has been repeatedly unwilling or unable to do so. This really is what it is.
I just don't see a few weeks between discussing the furtherance of an idea, etc. as any sort of long period of time for him, given his total history. Long absences with tiny little "hit and run" postings (Usually in the middle of the night) to redirect posts, (lately) tweet posts, etc., seem to be the normal pattern and one he has never seriously changed.
I can only recommend extreme patience and radical acceptance.
