I do this constantly. I look at what I've written and wonder if I am thread crapping or thread stealing or just plain being preachy. I try to word it differently, and then decide to trash the whole post.

It's annoying!! !

I've done that, many times. If my post looks really stupid, I press the ← button, and I don't bother to post it.

Don't worry, you aren't the only one. I wanted to make a post about peppermint oil but then realized this wasn't a migraine forum. :roll:

Yeah, a lot of times putting something to words takes more effort than I have to give (if that makes any sense?), so I just hit backspace and forget about it.

Thank you guys!

It's so nice to be able to post stuff and have people understand instead of giving you the equivalent of the 12 heads look.

Sometimes. Especially if I review what I was going to post and see that it's redundant.

I do it sometimes. But once in a while I'll post anyway, piss someone off, and then come back thinking it would have been better not to. :wink:
