You do get a last chance in preview. It’s easy to get overconfident and check the box. If I were king, I would force anything having HTML in it to go through preview.

I always post with HTML and always read the preview. Sometimes that isn't enough. When you write something, it's possible to have your mind "fill in" the missing parts when "proofreading". You see what you want to see, not what is actually present. The final post appears a bit different from the preview. Sometimes you spot the goof at that time. It's too late.

As a full time Software QA / QC worker I can tell you that is the case in reviewing the Software transitioning to us for Post Development Service Support and on the written User Defect Reports, our Code Engineers written Assessment of the Defect and the Written Technical Solution.

We won't even get into formal reports, papers, and technical recommendations/proposals.

Cheers!
