I can't be the only one who has done this....

Typing a long post, accidentally hit escape, which is the same as pressing the clear field button. All your hard work and thoughts disappears, and you have the choice of starting over, or, more often than not in my case, skipping the response and moving on.

Does anyone ever use this feature? More harm than good IMO.

I know a good solution is to type the post in Word then copy it over. I do this for trip reports, but it is very immpractical for regular posting.
