It is unfortunately culturally inappropriate for me to be mad. ;)

No, I'm perfectly sincere. In my experience, the TP is the most  
efficient translation project in which I participate (out of at least  
a dozen).

I'm surprised. I usually hear back fairly quickly, often the same  
day, and queries on the TP mailing list are always promptly answered  
with a great deal of expertise. Are we talking about different  
projects with the same initials? I haven't seen any queries from you  
on the mailing list. :)

The liveliness or otherwise of teams, I think, is really a team  
matter. I wish mine were livelier, but it's no more so here, or in  
any other project.

All hard-working translation co-ordinators! It's a LOT of work, and  
we wouldn't be able to do what we do without you. :)  Thankyou!!
