Do you ever...

MikeVic · 10-22-2007, 11:23 AM

Start typing a response to a thread, and as you're typing, it just seems like a long-winded or a stupid reply, and you just forget about replying to that thread?

It didn't happen before, but seems to happen more often now... I just finished typing a response to the Dolphins sraft thread, but after re-reading it, I don't even know what I was trying to say so I deleted the response.

chesapeake · 10-22-2007, 11:26 AM

Yes, all the time. I am naturally long-winded. And probably stupid, too.

Lathum · 10-22-2007, 11:26 AM

all the time, or I'll begin a new thread and wonder why the hell I am posting that and just delete it.

Fidatelo · 10-22-2007, 11:35 AM

I probably delete over a third of the posts I type.

Kodos · 10-22-2007, 11:35 AM

Edit: Nevermind.

Desnudo · 10-22-2007, 11:37 AM

Yes. I would guess that most do. It's pretty obvious who doesn't.

Postcountwise, that sure is the best solution to the problem.

Post counts don't count there, so it doesn't count.

ROFL, I completely forgot about that! So if I tell someone to stick their finger up their ass, it shouldn't count because the post doesn't exist. Brilliant!

Passacaglia · 10-22-2007, 01:10 PM

Happens to me a lot.

Hell, it even happens to me, believe it or not...

SnDvls · 10-22-2007, 05:05 PM

I was gonna respond with a really long post here, but thought it really wasn't funny so all you are going to get is this stupid post.

thealmighty · 10-22-2007, 05:19 PM

I would be up near Jeebs in posts if I didn't quit on lots of responses (well, maybe not, but I do that alot).

Ironhead · 10-22-2007, 05:24 PM

I am probably the king of this. Lets put it this way - if I posted everything I started to type up I would probably be a lot closer to 1,000 posts at this point.

In fact I almost just closed this message after typing it.

StarBuck · 10-22-2007, 05:29 PM

I do that all the time. Most of the time it's because it makes no sense (see my sig line) and I'm too tired or lazy to spell check.

And Ironhead, he does it a lot. You have no idea how many conversations he has had with you people that you have never seen. lol

StarBuck · 10-22-2007, 05:29 PM

LOL I didn't see him posting above me.

flere-imsaho · 10-22-2007, 06:50 PM

I'm doing this more and more often with Politics threads. I'll get half-way through a detailed response to someone's post and then catch myself thinking "Why? He's not going to change his mind anyway." and just cancel the post.

Raiders Army · 10-22-2007, 06:52 PM

I post and then delete it sometimes.

Yes. That's probably why the majority of the board hates me.

Duh......My answer should have been "No". I got confused.
