I don't know. It has happened to me before. Don't close your browser and hit the back button until you get back to that page. I have retrieved a post this way. Copy it out of the post you were making in that window then close and reopen the thread and post again.

FWIW, I'm not gonna write the whole damn thing again.

Let a sleeping dog lie always seemed like good advice.

Doesn't show up in any of your recent posts in your User profile. Sure you didn't maybe hit the wrong button?

I know I've typed out some pretty wordy posts in the past, and Homer'd out and closed the browser instead of post reply.

Well, it's possible, but not very likely. Even on the occasions where I have clicked the wrong button, the post is easily recovered.

Only if you backed out, or actually posted. If you closed the window unposted, it wouldn't recover by backing up.

I think. I'm hardly a wiz with these things, but I make lots of mistakes.

My take on the issue:

But in all seriousness, while the 2nd amendment is an individual right, I believe the types of guns that can be owned by the individual are what should be limited. If you want a handgun to protect your family, or a rifle to hunt that's fine, but you don't need an automatic weapon in order to do so. I also believe gun ownership should be subject to some kind of intelligence test. Idiots should not be allowed to just randomly shoot their guns in their backyard. A moron shot my cat, because he was just shooting, for no reason, other than to feel like a big man apparently.

Agreed!

I find it funny that people get so up in arms (no pun intended) over GUNS, when much more important things are going on. I personally have no preference on the gun control issue. I just think that the economy, illegal aliens, and the war are much bigger topics than guns. I've seen a lot of Obama slamming on this thread, and I wonder where people get their news. Both candidates have problems (don't they all?) but McCain/Palin are much more volatile than Obama/Biden could ever be. Just my 0.02 cents.
