This is the first long hold-up in the draft so I don't want to over-react. I feel this is a good group and we'll get through it just fine, albeit a little slow. hoopsrus is a good WIS owner and reliable so I'm assuming he has had some unforeseen circumstance take him offline for a while.
I would agree with jtpsops that if you know you will be unavailable for more than a half a day or so, send a proxy to an owner or 2 just to keep things moving.
