Heh heh…you hit it on the head there. I thought it was just me who obsess over writing the perfect comment. This one took a good hour.

Good to know there are more of us out here. Maybe there’s a plugin that would allow readers to edit their own comments? Hmmm…

Top, you need to remember two things, leave a word document open that looks worky and the short cut alt F8!

Three things… oh dear, this is getting like the Spanish Inquisition sketch, always cut and past the comment into notepad at regular intervals so you have a reasonably up to date copy.
Cheers (again)

Wow BC, you’ve really got the covert slacking down to a science! I thought I wouldn’t have this problem slack… er, working from home. But I’ve just traded one boss for another. My wife is always looking over my shoulder and saying “Oh, I see you’re really working hard. Now come over and help me with thing in the other room.” (Alt-F8… hmm…)
Emon totally stole my thunder. Ha Ha, LOL! Me too!

Yeah, I usually write my comments in Word or some other less Microsoft-y application, and then cut and paste. It’s just that every now and then I forget my own rules and inevitably end up closing the window or quitting the browser accidentally.

And Brian, I know what you mean. I’ll be working all evening on something, and the first time I decide to take a break and hit up a car forum or something Wife will come in and tell me to stop screwing around.
Such is life, I guess.

Wow, writing your comment in a separate application? Now that’s just paranoid. Or anal. (I haven’t decided which.) Let’s go with “paranal”.
Sometimes I select the text of a comment or an email and copy it before I send, especially if I’m having network/internet connectivity issues. And I thought I was being paranoid…

Paranal is good. Better than Noidanal.
I have a tendency to type quickly and as such litter the landscape with typos. The cut and paste method saves us all the embarrassment.

Anyone who really obsesses over blog comments knows that you have to use Word, possibly Outlook. Google/IE spellcheck isn’t good enough, you’ve got to have a program that checks grammar and punctuation too. Plus, you can save the drafts forever like it’s your own little comment hall of fame.

See Brian? I’m not alone…fellow obsessives unite!

We prefer the term “thorough.”
Unless it’s just me, and I’m referring to myself as “we”, in which case, you are correct.
