Writing posts, but not posting them.
Do you ever do this? I do. Alot. Probably I post about half of what I write. And the rest, I preview, edit, preview, edit... . . .

I was going to comment on this, but I just deleted it instead.

Every now and again I type something in the quick reply box that's just too over the line in terms of flamage, and luckily, my sensibility sensor kicks in just before I hit post.

I do this about half the time. I just did it in the Rules of Engagement thread. It's normally because I have no confidence in my response.

My father is the kind of guy who keeps his mouth shut until he has something really good to say. Then he says it. His words have value. I always admire that trait and I try to emulate it.
BUt here on the Cellar, that's not the point. It's good to have posts that have some value to them, but if you wait until what you have to say is profound, there would be no posts here. It's the chaff that inspires the wheat. Edit: I just thought about this post and how it relates to the thread, and decided to delete it rather than refine it, because I think it's lame and I don't even really agree with it fully. But since the topic of the thread is posts you delete, I thought I'd give you an example of what I would delete. It's everything above the word "Edit" here. |

@glatt: My opinion is that you should post more stuff like that.

Thanks. Reading it again, I like it more. But there's still something about it I don't like. Can't put my finger on it.

Yes because I go to spell check or look for something and it's gone.

Nope, but I tend to go back and edit a lot. Afterthoughts more than revisions.

getting the 90% -100% percent crowd to weigh in on this may be problematic
