I've begun to notice that I actually do it fairly frequently.

Anyone else?


And would anyone be surprised that I've actually typed up super-lengthy posts and then decided against submitting it? That's happened a few times. :D

I always end up hitting the x to close the browser before I can muster up the courage to actually post something.

All the damn time. I am going to argue with someone and type up an elaborate reply, but then decide it's not worth the effort and arguing on the internet is dumb.

All the time. I'll go off on a tirade about something stupid that one of you posts...then decide that making my point isn't worth yet another damned vacation.

This was the third reply I typed and finally posted as the first one only contained clown porn and then realized I didn't want to share all the good images / websites for you all to steal and the second one simply vanished as I was typing out pi past the current record of ten trillion digits.

Not often but it happens, generally when I get a nagging suspicion that this reply might be offensive in itself or start an unnecessary heated argument amongst members.

100% yes so far. You wouldn't know it from some of the post counts around here...

After I filled up my mailbox mailing myself unposted drafts, and you can't get any more space, I made an e-mail account where I send them.

Considering how frequently I get banned just for stating my opinion one would think I learn my lesson soon.

Probably not.

Yes ... more often then I would like to admit. Sometimes I would like to turn my "filter" off and just type/post away!

Yeah, either because it might be ban worthy or because it is too personal and I don't want a freak to stalk me.

Yup, I've had to edit lots of replies after thinking about them. I usually ninja them in the hopes no one is currently quoting me.

Just in case.

Anyone know how to make a bot to quote every post Wyndru makes?

All the time. I type it out then decide I sound like a moron or something.

Also I bet TecHNooB is liar.
