MiniRaptor, I know whatya mean, I lost one post to it last eve, but that post was really no loss to anyone. I had a spell some time back when I couldn't type more than about three words in a post without a "you have been disconnected"; turned out that time that it wasn't the Mudcat; it was a faulty ground on our telephone hookup that didn't become obvious on phone calls until it got a lot worse. But someone here suggested (the obvious, I suppose) copying my posts (as in hit edit, hit copy) before submitting, and that has saved me a whole lot of gnashing of teeth.
