... intentionally, or just press backspace. This isn't a poll, because polls are boring threads.

I do this [censored] a lot. Anyone else?

you mean on accident? I do that sometimes but can't you just backspace to get it back?

I mean type it out, wonder wtf is the point then press backspace and forget about the post.

Example, i was going to post for a 2nd time in the 'ethical to use someones wireless internet?' thread, typed, but wondered what is the point, hit backspace on firefox, made this.

I do this daily. Usually i just don't feel like it's [censored] worth it to actually say what i was going to say. I also often have a half written reply when i'm interrupted by something and when i come back to it later i just don't feel like finishing my post.

I'd say 20% or more I end up editing after I post it.

i do sometimes but not very often.

it'd be cool if someone could give an exact number higher than 10 and be telling the truth.

sometimes i'll post it and then delete it, too.

I'd say I don't post about 80% of what I write. I usually get to the end and think 'who cares' and abort it.

the problem with OOT is that there are not enough people that do this.

Iend up typing then not posting a few each day. I edit probably 25% or so that i actually post. I delete very few. It probably should be more. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

a lot, sometimes I write it out sometimes and then don't submit, most of the time I just hit reply and then think [censored] it and don't bother. almost did it just then.

ps: there's an old thread on this exact same subject somewhere

I edit the crap out of my posts right after I post them. For some reason I can't read what I said from the preview window, I have to post it and then look it over for mistakes.

Thank god for 2+2's "Mark as Edited?" checkbox.


P.S I edited that last line in, it wasn't planned.

Few times a day. Often I'll just struggle with the syntax of some strategy post, give up and do something else, or realize the joke i'm trying to make is weak.
