You young 'uns and your autosaving posts. Why in my day we had to write our posts out on paper first because dial-up was so unreliable, and this was after we had to have the horse run a treadmill to charge up enough electron energy to make our difference engines work!

...But, uh, seriously, old trick learned from years of roleplaying online: write your posts up in notepad first. Since that means that if anything screws up internet-wise you still have your post all written up. XD
