Of course life happens,that's why the suggestion of not posting a story until it's complete and your life *has happened* seems to be the best solution IMHO.

just because someone is frustrated doesn't make it a whine. I think its a fair point. If it were something you were interested in and then someone disappeared for months on end during a story you were reading,you wouldn't be wondering what was up ?

My comments weren't directed at any one person,just a general statement.
