I hated it when I was stuck at work using a webmail program. But for a while I was. Ever have it where you are typing a respone in webmail, usually a lenghty one, and all of the sudden someone hollars "It's broken"? You get pulled away from the email you are about to send. Ten minutes later, you get back and finish your email. You click send, and it happens. "Timed out - please re-log in". You lose everything. I got into the habit of copying it into the memory before I sent, then I got pmail (http://www.pmail.com/). But tonight, I got hosed again...

I was blogging, spent about 30 minutes nursing this beer, and blogging away. Filled it with links, and clicked publish. I got a screen that read "Down for Maintenace (http://www.eatstayplay.com/images/blogger.jpg)" . So I clicked the back button on Firefox, and *poof* it's gone.

May i say... :fuct:

may I suggest my sympathy?
It happend to me too, several times (including on this forum...),
very frostrating - most of the times I got so pissed that I never rewrote what I had to write...

a habbit I made after one of my nervous breakdown - before any "post" button - I use Ctrl+a , Ctrl+c so I'll always could paste it another time.
