The “back” button took me to an *empty* reply window, and I couldn’t find any way to get back to my original text! Argh! If I’m smart, I’ll do all my creative writing in another text editor first, and then paste it in here. Webmaster, is there any hope of avoiding this problem otherwise?!

I often edit my articles in a text-editor, before pasting it to the browser’s input field. But this forward-and-back thing I just did myself a few minutes ago with a different article, but luckily Firefox remembered it. So one way of getting around this problem is using Firefox and/or an external text-editor.
