When you've typed a long answer or comment on AB and lose it due to glitches, do you take the time to rewrite and repost?

yes but maybe not the full thing, just most of it
-
No I am afraid I do not. Most of my best work is floating about in cyber space. That is my excuse and I am running with it.
-
If I can remember what the heck I typed, yes. If not, I'll post the Coles notes version.
-
Yes. Once I re wrote a comment 5 times. Finally, I gave up. Then Jodie told me to copy it before I posted and now that's what I do if it's something I really want posted.
-
If I take the time to type out that much thought then I typically highlight it and copy it before posting in order to ensure my train of thought will not be lost somewhere in cyberspace.
-
I have retyped many a comment due to NOT copying before submitting. Now, I make sure I copy everything before clicking submit.
-
yes i do. it only takes a few minutes and maybe you have hellped that one person.
-
I try to but it never seems to come out as good the second time around. I guess it's like mental left-overs.
-
I always select and CTRL+c it before submitting.
-
I sure do , though have to rethink and start all over +5
-
Yes i try to, I like to give rather detailed answers at times and if i lose it i will sit there and ponder until i remember it ><
-
Oh I have done that more times than I can count. I have learned a trick. If I write out a long one, I save it to notepad before I click to submit. I have lost posts (not on AB) that took my HOURS to write. I usually go back and rewrite them but, since I started the notepad thing, I have much less problems.
-
Usually I do...but oooh what a frustrating moment!
-
Mostly. Though like, some people have already said, it never sounds as good the second time round. Sometimes i just give up and move on. Must make a mental note to copy before i press submit!
