That is without a doubt, a rampant virus for sure. I know firsthand.

The one I really hate is the one when I spend an hour typing and hit a wrong key, just typing and it all disappears, never to be seen again. Anyone have a solution, believe me I have tried?

Maybe you could hit "REPLY" instead of hitting the "QUOTE REPLY" soft key? Assuming you don't have an encephalopathy and are able to remember the OP's moniker, you could type that in instead. That way, your mindless verbatim quote of what he just wrote doesn't have to take up unnecessary space and cause everybody else to have scroll down that much more. Have a heart, Earworms, and smile for a change. :-)

Yes Paul..many a time, and it really annoys me. In fact it makes me say things like "goodness me I've lost it all" and "Oops" ...and perhaps some other "words" as well..lol.
