Its takes time to write and edit a post. I often save because I can lose it (happens all the time). To look up references and such means posts get formulated over sometimes lengthy period of time.
I generally use a text editor to store documents while I am writing them. I also very rarely do major revisions, even when I was in school writing essays. Checks for typos and grammar are about it.
YMMV.
Well I am not a good writer so I need to revise :Sometimes I write stuff on Word and paste it in (like the new thread I started today). But a lot of time, like now, I am typing right into the site.
I generally type directly into the site, but if it is a large response I create a blank text file and copy-paste it into there in case my connection times out while I am posting.
I gradually get lazy about this, until I spend a bunch of time writing a long post only to have it eaten after I press reply, starting the cycle over again. Call it Jordan's Posting Saeculum, if you will.
