Do you ever delete a post before submitting it?

[howdy]

I believe my post count is in the 220 range, BUT I have written many, many more. I will read something on CHL Forum and I will type a great reply, only to "cool off" or think better about my post and delete the whole thing. We all know there are certain things we probably shouldn't put in a post (ie number and types of guns owned) and I try to avoid doing that. Does anybody else sometimes have writers remorse?

[LSUTiger]

Probably not as often as I should.

I've "lost" many a post because after hitting submit I close the window not realizing it didn't actually submit the post because someone else had posted and it wants to make sure I still want to post my post in light of whatever updated posts have been posted.

Sure.

A recommended technique for dealing with anger is to write a letter to the person that you are angry with, then put it in a drawer. Next morning, read it and rip it up.

I've deleted a few, and I've also hit the "back" button accidentally before submitting.

Very often. Mostly after my wife reads it and says "don't you dare".

[Ericstac]

A bunch.. The few times I went ahead with the posts I got warning of being banned.

i have, and I've tweeted and sometimes deleted those, and sometimes it doesn't let me.

I typed four replies to this thread before posting this one.

Yep.......all the time.

[chasfm11]

All the time. I probably delete 4 times as many as I post. Most of the ones that I delete really weren't adding anything to the thread. Thankfully, some of the others never saw the light of day.

I will sometimes write a post and think to myself "who really cares about that anyway?" and delete it because I have nothing valuable to add to the discussion.

[C-dub]

Lots. I might be over the 7k post limit if I hadn't. Mostly because I started rambling or just figured I really didn't to say anything after all. Sometimes it was because I didn't think it would last long once a moderator saw it.

[fickman]

Yep! I do it a lot.

If anybody here listens to The Ticket in Dallas, you'll be familiar with the term "tired-head".

Sometimes I'll write a detailed post and either give myself tired-head or get tired-head thinking of the responses.

If any of you are annoyed with the posts I DO submit, just think of the ones I've protected you from!

Weekly for me if not multiple times weekly.
