Perhaps you should consider editing out the advertising garbage before posting.

If I had seen it I would have. The little text box is too small to show anything but the last 10 lines or so.

Don’t worry about it. Mistakes happen. Fact is, if people feel “real” strong about what you posted they can just ignore the thread. That’s what I do.

Everybody makes mistakes, and the fact that you can’t delete your own stuff here just exasperates the problem. Also, since the internet forum culture in 2024 is one that allows you to edit and delete stuff AFTER posting, it affects your posting style. i.e. you learn to use that feature. So whenever you are in a place where you don’t have that feature, you get caught with your pants down. It still happens to me from time to time and I’ve been a member here since 1997.

There is an easy remedy for that.

A lengthy extract from another blog should be copied to plain text in Notepad or some other plain text editor for proofing before copying it to the FR posting box.

Saves potential embarrassment later.

You can use your arrow keys to move up and down through the text, going all the way to the top and bottom as needed to review ALL of your input.
