Thank you for the wonderful welcome! I really enjoyed yesterdays freewrite- my first :) I am most definitely going to do this on a regular basis.

As far as how long someone should be on the list, I think it really depends. Some people, like me, publish on Steemit daily. So in a case such as this, if they stop participating in freewrite for over a week I think its safe to say they have moved on or no longer have time.

For those who work outside of the home, and have a record of publishing only a few times a week on Steemit, then they should be given a bit of a longer time. You know, things happen- work, family, holidays, illness... Things that must be taken into account.
