Every challenge we've hosted here, we've made sure people know that dropping out isn't a big deal, so I'd feel pretty bad banhammering people when they did.

I have no idea if someone just didn't feel like finishing or had to have a lung out, and I don't think I'm qualified to draw the line as to where the cut off point ought to be.

That said, I really appreciate people who e-mail me ahead of time so I can set up a pinch. Just disappearing is stressful to mod.
