I had a very long response to MattB in the polytheism thread that I lost when PJ locked it.
I'll try to rewrite it when the thread comes back.

If you reconstruct it, I will look forward to reading it.

For future reference: If you hit the browser's "back" button it should bring you back to a cached version of the page you were on when you wrote your response. At least that way you can copy and paste your own text so you don't lose your work.

Glen, Not in IE (or at least the IE I'm using) it doesn't. As soon as you leave a page, it clears the cached form data.
Papa, I'm assuming that you are going to be unlocking the thread. Is that correct? There's some discussions in it I'd like to continue. I could start a new thread for this, I gueses, but it would be much more convenient to continue them there.

I don't usually use IE, but I suspect that you can set the cache preferences so it will not clear the data until after you close the browser.
P.S. As an experiment I opened my copy of IE, typed the response above, then clicked on links at the top of the page, and then typed the address for wikipedia and found an article on OSC, before using the back button to resume my place here in the message window. The text I had written was still there.

I'd presume I'm going to be unlocking the thread, but Tuesday evening through Thursday afternoon is my busiest meatspace-life time; this happened to occur in the middle of it, and I haven't been able to review it all yet.
