It’s not like our posts are going to change the world!

Before you know it, our posts are down the page and forgotten....all that thought and inspiration for nothing!!

I do the same.
I also type out posts then delete them if I think it would annoy someone, and worst of all type out a long reply and then press the wrong button which deletes it before I've posted it. Then either give up in frustration or have to type the whole thing again.

I do it all the time too.
I generally edit for typos or to be a little more diplomatic

I do edit if, l make a mistake in my spelling, for punctuation or if lt doesn’t read right!

What l want to know is...

When you send your post, does it go through Admin to be checked and it is ok’d?
If you edit that post, does it go through Admin again for clearance?
If you edit it again, does it go through to Admin for the third time?

It’s just something, l’ve always wondered?
no Art , Admin has a life....

Exactly my thoughts too!

And I have to admit that I sometimes think "now is it really worth spending time and mental energy posting on this thread when theres a very real possibility that it will disappear within the hour!

That’s true!
Our posts aren’t even re-usable! At least newspapers were used to wrap fish and chips up in!!
