What percentage of your posts do you actually post?

Well under half.

Mmmmmmmmmm. Nope none of them. I have thankfully heavily edited some before anyone could quote me. I think. Not that i really care, maybe. maybe not. As long as i stay 1K ahead of irv. At this point what does it matter ;)

Somehow I'm incapable of proofing before I hit "Post Quick Reply" so I don't think I've ever posted something that I didn't edit at least once. I pity the foo who quotes me too quickly.

ETA: Ah shit, habit. Sorry.

I've gotten much better, so don't start composing a reply unless I intend to post it, now. My self-edit rate is probably down to about 30%, where a few years ago I would end up not posting 90% of replies. Though that was better than drunk-posting a few years earlier still, where I wouldn't even think about my posts or replies, just run off at the keyboard.

well under half

I take this as evidence that you are a cautious and prudent person. I delete 90% of my posts.

In other words, about half the time I?ll type something and then change my mind before I post it and just delete it and half the time I?ll submit the post.

The other 10% I decide just aren't worth it. They'll probably be misunderstood or twisted into something they aren't, so I self-edit as 'just not worth it', page back in the browser, and move on.

This. But reversed. For the exact same reason. 10% make it.

I personally thank forum for helping me realize posting long crap with all the evidences and proofs are just wasting everyone's time.

On a money and political thread, I was spending good 25 minutes putting up international trade/finance models/theories/graphs/charts/equation to prove something years back. (My guess was 2008ish).

Found out posting that would be stupid because no one has time to read that shit! [LOL]

Delete was a smart move.

The only winning move is not to play.
