Gene, I take your point about extending the deadline and sending out an email to see if you were still OK. However, if I had done that, your reply would not have got to me either, so all that we'd have seen is a one week delay, followed by your NMR.
It has been suggested by another player that NMR does in fact mean No Move "Received". This means the onus is on you as players to make sure I have received them, and not on me to chase around to see if you have sent them.
