Felon, I prefer to let the subject die, but for the record: according to WIS I have competed in 56 seasons. Maybe 3-4 of those were open leagues and another 6-10 were theme leagues, so I've done somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 drafts here. I can recall one HDP progressive draft where I got skipped, and I think twice in the ODL, one smokey decade league and of course the last DH52. So, yes I had RL things pop on me more than a couple of times.
However, if you look back at the drafts I've been in over 95% of my picks were either via proxy or within my time slot, and I'm guessing at least 75% of the time I have either already sent a proxy or made my pick within 5-10 minutes of the person ahead of me, not an hour but within 5-10 minutes.
Yes, I had problems last dh$52 and I have already apologized for that, but my overall track record is one of being very prompt.
