Aw Snap ? What's a fellow to do?

Well if you don't use offensive language I don't See Why you would get dinged.

I'm not at all clear what you are talking about. Do you mean the "dissappearing post", the one that goes away while you are typing.

Do this. Type your post in Word. Then cut and paste into the forum.

Appreciate That; Don't know how to do that .

Do you have a personal computer? Or access to one at the library? Type out what you want to say in a word processing program and save it. Then if its your own computer, highlight the enitre document and click "copy". Switch to the internet and open a "post" or "reply" window like you would if you were typing in a comment. but put your curser in and click "paste".

Following my last comments, I thought of a couple of other things.

Doing this, you will build a library of your posts. I like that and in fact if you do ever write that book (I'd buy it in a heartbeat) you'll have the rough draft.

Also, you'll have access to spell check.
