Embarrassing or totally unneeded posts

Post by Heavy »

Sometimes when I post. I realise it'll just lead the thread off topic. Some other times I realise I have to explain my post further to get it easily understood. Sometimes I realise I just don't have to post what I'm typing.

This has led at a maximum of ten times to post abort.
I feel this one also is getting into the world of Tomas DiLeva, so I shouldn't post this, but since this post is about the feeling a have right now, I am condemned to post it no matter what it feels like.
:?

Do I have a question?
Don't really know.

Umm...

Do you change your mind sometimes and abort posting just before you would have pressed the submit button?

I'm not drunk. I am this stupid, crazy, naive, strange, whatever aliubnzdrgoui...

All the time :) Thank god, phpBB give you a couple of minutes after posting during which you can edit the post, without then displaying "edited by ... at ...".
Another good thing is that you can delete your posts - done that a couple of times, when I just considered my post pointless.

Happens.

Now go out and enjoy the sun (if the weather is as beautiful as down here in Sussex) :P

much more than a couple of min. until someone else has posted or you logged out.
this means it varies
