"It is harder to proxy for this type of draft than a one-shot league like the ODL  I've got a list of about 15 different guys I'm interested in for the next few rounds, but I really want to see what happens in the picks leading up to mine before I send off a list of 12 players (and tip my hand about future interests)."

Yeah.  The following scenario went down earlier in this draft:

Round four... I can't decide between Tom Boerwinkle and Tyson Chandler.  I really want both but doubt either will still be there when it gets back to me.  But maybe, just maybe, Chandler will be since he doesn't really blossom till later seasons.  But if I proxy, then maybe the guy that drafts RIGHT before me suddenly decides to take him.  My placing him on the proxy list actually might even inflate his value.  And thus, he's not there.  But instead, I draft without proxy and when round five came back around, the guy I heavily debated over in round 4 was still there and I happily took him.

the worst feeling is having your day off; waking up with a mid-day draft slot and then seeing that no progress was made

Poddy it's just some of us make an effort to move the draft along, checking in regularly and doing proxies.  Yes its timed and sometimes I dont pick until my timeslot.  But if I can pick early or have time to send a proxy I will. Just some people is a constant we are waiting for them.

to further expound on this....if shooters various holdups and this current now 13 hour period did not happen we could be running close to a day and a half ahead..the goal is to finish the draft qucikly so we can start playing not to draft as close to our time slot as possible.  I understand emergencies and real life (believe it or not I have a really immersive job) but if you are willing to signup for a multi season commitment how committed does it say you will be if you cant even help along the draft process.
