Goodbye post

Type up something for 10 minutes and bloop. Gone. Thats 10 minutes ill never get back

I've been burned by that too.

If you create a long post, be sure to use CTRL-A (highlight all) and CTRL-C (copy to paste buffer) before posting so all the work is not done.

Or type it up in an external editor, then copy/paste it in.

Often, when that happens, you can press the back button on the browser and your post has not been lost - you can hit post again. But not always.

Indeed, I avoid using my laptop in the shower for that very reason.

I blame Windows myself.
