I have alot of experience live drafting and believe it or not this would not qualify as my worst live draft experience. What you learn is that when you run your own theme leagues, you get to know the managers that you want to participate in them so you don't get these kinds of problems.
However, back when I first began playing, the entire live draft was conducted on these message boards. Some of those went well, and in the best cases if you could coordinate everyone to be on for several hours in the evening those drafts flew.
Actually my tour #3 live draft was done in like 3 days this year, so its all hit or miss.
As Kaviksdad said earlier you just have to be patient. But that being said I keep a mental note of guys that continually cause live drafts to drag on and I try not to participate in that type of format again with those individuals.
