If you are preparing a long post in order to avoid losing it to internet "flutters", then copy all the text in the edit box (right click and use select all from the pop-up menu) and then save it (paste) to an open copy of your favourite text editor.
To be double sure, save the text editor copy as a disk file like "tmp.txt" (in case of a power outage, say).
Then if it barfs, you can re-reply to the original post, and copy and paste the text into the edit box.
Naturally the time you
don't follow this procedure is the time it will go off into the ether ...
