I'm so pissed off I could SCREAM right now!

Just thought I'd vent.

I just spent two hours doing a 1,200 word writeup on Peter Smith's Midway : Dauntless Victory, which I'd received a review copy of back in early January. I do all my finishing touches, fix my spelling errors, and basically make the review look all nice and pretty for when Neal sees it. So, I click "submit", and...well, sometime during those two hours, the forum decided to log me out, leaving me unable to access the subsim crew forum, with the forum giving me a "don't go there!" message, because I'm not logged in anymore. Now, if I'd just copied and pasted the entire review before hitting "submit", I'd have a back up plan. But NO! I copied and pasted the entire review into Word, did a spell check, and closed Word without saving my review! And being an idiot, I had nothing to fall back on, except the last word I'd spell checked! This is why you should ALWAYS write your long posts in some kind of word processing program FIRST, people! Now it's all back to square one again...
