If I spend a lot of time and effort on a post, I always copy it for myself, usually in an email to myself, before posting.

I also usually copy such a post as well. SeattleIP would not allow copying or editing, attempting to do so locked the screen for up to 20 seconds or so, so I could not even copy or send it to my self. They had locked out screen copy as well, so that was out. Cutting and pasting was also not allowed. I was going to copy myself what I had written when they erased it when I was attempting to log-in to post it.

They had me "log-in" using my Facebook account, so they knew it was me, but that was apparently insufficient for them to allow me post. . . and when I went to create an account for posting, everything I had written in response to their article was gone when i returned to finish posting it. They already had everything they asked me for in their registration from my Facebook information. . . there was not a single thing different. . . just a typical Windows type hoop to jump through.

BAH! The bad programing does not make me ever want to post there again.
