I like Dave's idea about doing the post on the computer first then pasting it into the site.
That's what I do Eric, so I can easily recreate my Projects, "hints & tips" Blogs and Reviews... unfortunately it's the follow up banter and thread hijack that is irreplaceable.
Started doing this as I tend to get a tad carried away with the size of my posts and there's nothing more frustrating than loosing the WEB page on the last few lines ("pages")...
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
