Do you click 'Preview' before 'Post'?
Or do you hasten nilly-willy into each error-riddled post you make, not giving a tinker's damn about looking like an utter nimrod to the Democratic Underground community at large?



:hi:

6. That's the most important time
I hate it when pic links don't work. It's embarrassing. x(

Or when I typo on a smilie, like :stoat: — unless I'm talking with Call Me Wesley or Heidi, in which case it's an inside joke. :)







Speaking of pics, Ms. I-Want-My-Toenails-Polished... Sniffa and I are losing patience. :P

They could definitely use some help though!

22. I do that pretty often
Just can't stand letting a goof get through, even a "little" one. :blush:



But then, there are no "little" mistakes in my eyes. They're all egregious masses of festering, smoking pustules, sure to condemn one to the Nether Regions for all eternity.*



*"All eternity" being, of course, redundant — but you knew that, and you knew I knew it.

a []ipost is all messsed up, badly formatted and and filled with speling errorrs and gramatical u]mistaeaksand []the links don't
work. It's inconsidrate and rude and shows a lack of attenttion
/u] to detale. ]And a lack of respect for the reader. Rememberer that people judge you by the werds you right and how they look and stuff.http://www.inet.bd/faq/netiquete.htmlText

24. Repeatedly.
I learned to write a series of drafts before I finalize anything, and I can't shake the habit.

And I still end up hitting the Edit button half the time afterward, anyway. :eyes:

25. Yes.
I don't want to accidentally post a naked pic or something and a GIANT GREEN FONT THAT NEVER ENDS!!!

And btw, who are the freaks following me around and reporting my naked pics to Photobucket? They are all quite tasteful, maybe not even worthy of an "R" rating at the movies.



If you don't like what I have to say, or the pictures I post, you could have the courtesy to reply, or if you are shy, simply click the DU alert.

26. Preview when the post is what I consider kind of lengthy
If it's just a sentence or two, I feel I would be aware of any problem - and if there would be, I'd make an edit.

27. Depends.
If there's a pic, or complicated italics or bolding or whatever, then yes.

Otherwise, nimrod it is! (like this, for instance :P )

31. Only if I post a picture or a poll, or use a lot of HTML
which is pretty rare for me.
