How many times do you start posting a reply and then trash it?

I'd say I delete 60 - 75%.

There's something about the feeling of shutting up that I really enjoy.

All the time, at least half of my posts. I just feel like alot of stuff is better left unsaid I guess.

I either get bored with what i was going to say, forget it half way through, or don't feel it is appropriate at the moment...

I would say around 75% for sure. The ones that I do post are usually re-written at least 10 times (I am not exaggerating). I spend a lot of time lurking too.

I've posted over 300 messages in the time I've been here. In that time I've probably deleted 20-30 messages. So, that's like 10%.

About 15%, I think. Sometimes I'll write a long one and then delete it. It doesn't matter to me because it feels good to write, whether or not anyone else gets to read it.

Ironically, I started to post a response to this topic and then thought "No, that's not important enough" and closed the window.

I'd say I just close the window for about a third of the posts I type out, especially when I can't think of exactly how to word something.

I always have something to say, rather than just needing attention and posting for that, so I never have to delete my posts... when I want attention I bother my PM buddies! :P

Here, I've done that once out of what... like 45 posts already? But here I feel my thoughts get more understanding or something like that.

On groups.google.com (Legatou in the Atheism vs. Christianty group), I delete probably 60% of what I write.
