That seems to happen when the network connection is balky.

Banned by B...F... ?  Hey, I been t'rown outa better joints###### webpages than that!

Need sleep now.  Will try to get it before dinner tonorrow.

What seems amateurish?  Grammar?  I'm sure I could nit it, but it looked solid.  Commas are a stylebook thing, and I battle everyone about them.

You open with a series of short sentences.   Sentence lengths are one tool of composition, which is (roughly speaking) how we organize thoughts into phrases, clauses, sentences, and paragraphs.  Is this what leaves you dissatisfied?

You're not the only one who feels it can be better.  Poets and musical composers tinker with a work for years looking to make it better.  (See Saint Saens' Trois Chorales, a foundation work of the repertoire.)

Fell Night --a multiple entendre, 'fell' as verb or adjective.  Another title tool.

Can you use irony or oxymoron?  Flames of Darkness, Light the Way into Darkness?

I've got 1300.  My publishing has slowed as I learn of more skills that I need to learn, and I'm way behind on reviews, too.  But at some point I'm going to need those points, x3.

Okay, it's not Windows on your end.  I don't know what servers TNBW uses, but the different parts of their site are often out of sync, so I assume the platform archtecture has compromises.  That said, my results with the site do depend on the quality of my wireless connections.  And commercial carriers have QoS controls that might look at delays (possibly imposed near their periphery) and use those to calibrate the QoS for your connection.  When you look at the conflicting pressures on the implementors (corporate goals vs. customer service vs. getting it out tomorrow) it's a miracle it works at all.
Which doesn't make me any less angry about the crappy work.  (Actually crap makes good fertilizer.  This is more like toxic waste--cyanide of dioxin of biphenol.)

This site is especially dependent on the quality of the internet connection.  The Windows internet protocol stack seems to amplify poor connections instead of doggedly and smartly pushing through them.
