It is REALLY annoying when a topic or post or reply is carefully prepared...
Only to be totally lost just by a click or two of the mouse or by a backspace or two - when all you are doing is trying to correct a typing error.
Most times I simply say to myself "the heck with it" and whatever I was trying to do does not get done whether it is to try to help someone or to post something. I'll bet a lot of others also say "the heck with it."
For better or worse it takes the spontaneity out of saying or wanting to say something. Typing takes an effort. Few things are worth typing twice.
If I really want to say something I often "save" it by copying it to Word in anticipation of MLS losing it. Something needs to be fixed when we assume it will break before we even start to use it. I wonder how much help is never received by someone in need because of the frequency that members lose work they had put into a reply?
It's like the common question of "What did you say?"
And the common reply of "Nothing."
Maybe the answer was unimportant but maybe it was (to someone).
