Sorry about that. Just a word to the wise for everybody - If you are planing to make a long post you may want to think about opening up a MS Word document...most of the newer versions of Word save everything as you go along. Then it's just a simple matter of copying and pasting your post into the forum.

It was my fault. I had some other tabs open ... usually a dictionary and Bible browser and an email site ... and decided to close them all and wind up my post ... and deleted the LCD tab by mistake. Unfortunately the "undo close tab" feature on Firefox does not include anything I have typed.

Since I'm not much of an original thinker, I try to find inspiration from others ... in this case aron's comments about "moving targets." The other problem I have is a bad memory, so I don't remember all what I wrote.

I wish that was true. Ever since Office 2007, I can't get it to stop copying in a bunch of formatting stuff as meaningless gibberish. I now just copy my posts out to spell check then work back and forth to check them. It is a fristrating process. Before O2007, I always did my posts in Word.

Often times, as an fyi, If I write a long post, I will click the CTRL + C to copy. Then if it does not go through or I lose it, it is still saved.

It has been a life saver many a time for me. But my mistake when I lost a post I wrote here recently was I think I hit the preview button and then got off the forum
