I can see it from your point of view rabbit, but of course the author was not to know that his emails were going to the wrong person. From his point of view he just wasn't getting a reply.

As for the long grace period for members to reply, it is completely meaningless if they don't read the forums. The author was attempting to log in to comment on a review, on the story pages. But since you ignored that point, I guess you already realise the problem.
