I have an idea. How about a "draft" function for DU?
Often times I'd like to type a really long post, then get half way through it and get tired of working on it. How about a function that could save the stuff I'm working on so I can return to it later? Just an idea... Might help out the posters who notoriously make really long thoughtful posts. Not really me though, I'm just a hack. :D

1. Save it to your clipboard
but don't be surprised to find your documents full of saved half posts to the clipboard within a couple of weeks.

3. Yeah but it would be nice if it was all just right here.
I don't know, just a thought.

2. When I'm in that situation, I copy and paste what I've written to my email.

If it's the end of a long day, I sometimes email it to myself so I'm reminded in the morning.

You're not a hack, arcadian. When I see your posts, I read them and think about them, even if I don't have time to reply. :hi:

7. Thanks, Heidi
