i would probably only post twice the responses I actually write. Often its just like 'hmm there's no point posting here, this thread is retarded, why am i posting some banal answer in it that no one cares about?'.

I'd say about 25-35% I throw out.

I wish more OOT posters had this kind of built in censoring.

Just did it right now then I saw this post. I'd say it happens a few times a day.

Every so often. Generally though I think it'd be wrong to deprive you guys of the sheer awesomeness that is me.

[ QUOTE ]
A few times recently, I noticed myself typing out replies in threads only to decide half-way through that: (1) I had nothing worth adding; or (2) I did not want any part of the thread.

Anyone else do this much?

One extra question: how often to you respond rashly and quickly regret it? (cue obvious joke about responding to this post)

[/ QUOTE ]

At least 50% of the time I rethink a post and abandon it.
