Mishka, how can you judge yourself as a washout sub after just a few days (I read the post you're quoting and it was just days ago).

I still think caged hit on a bunch of important points in that post: there's no standard model for what a D/s relationship must look like, neither online nor offline, and you can't expect online to fyunction like if you lived in the same house. Even yesterday there were wserious server problems that blocked many of us from posting or accessing PM folders (I know, I was there). An online relation can't always run by a timetable and it will never run like clockwork, except if it's complemented by actual real-life encounters every week.
