I delete occassionally...but like John in Kansas, I type and compose slowly, and usually have all but the lesdexic parts caught before I post.

One interesting thing....using Firefox browser, which is becoming more & more popular, if I submit a post and Mudcat is down for a bit, that post is GONE when I hit 'back', just as if I had deleted it....while my usual browser, Opera, has a different caching algorithm and **KEEPS** what I have typed as part of each page....so no matter how far I go forward & back in the saved history, my post is always there. Just the other day, I forgot I was using Firefox and had a long post go *poof* when Mudcat   didn't respond. I used to carefully copy each post before submitting, but Opera spoiled me!
