  > Why don't you just copy your post before you hit the 'submit' button? Three simple (pragmatic) reasons: 1. Most of the time I forget. 2. Sometimes I'm writing multiple comments in HN and elsewhere simultaneously. And, sometimes I write quite long, carefully thought out comment on a forum I visit frequently, complete with images and all that (the forum runs phpBB and doesn't have a 'save draft' button). We need to change the web server before we can move to a better forum engine (vanilla, perhaps) and it's a small forum and doesn't worth the effort until we move the forum to another server later this year. 3. I usually use Safari betas (on OS X), and they're not famous for being stable and while the whole app rarely crashes, after they've moved to WebKit 2.0, occasionally something goes wrong and it has to refresh all open tabs and flush anything that's been in the text fields. So, even if I do #1, the danger is still there. :)
