I come in this forum ALL THE TIME and type out a long post about something or another, and then delete the entire thing after I proofread it. I'll even make corrections/additions, knowing I'm going to delete it anyway. I know writing things down is supposed to be cathartic, but it seems like an awful waste of time ... especially since I have to tap one letter at a time on an iPad.

I've written out many that I have deleted before posting. :) Never proofread so not a problem here! If I really feel wordy, I go to the computer vs my iPhone (typing on that is a PITA).

If you are on a windows computer, control + z, is your friend. Press and hold the control key, then press "z", while stilling pressing control. It will undue, the last thing you did. You can even undue multiple things.

I usually compose them mentally instead of typing them out. I have deleted quite a few really pissy responses to other threads though. ;)

I do it.all.the.freaking.time.... Usually when I need to post about my sister or XSO (whatever he is at the moment)... and then I think, "gee, what if my sister happens to see it?" because she'd catch my user name, my avatar and my sig immediately... so I typically end up deleting it. But I've always been a writer, so after I've typed it, even if I don't post it, I feel sooo much better!

Totally do this all the time. It does make me feel so much better just getting it but even if I don't post. Many times I am just frustrated with something so small but really angry about it. I write it out and then read it and immediately feel better. Then I delete it as it isn't worthy of posting somethings. But ti always makes me feel better!
