Yes, it started out as a pile of #@%@, but as it got analyzed more and more it turned out to be fertilizer, and it was good. Anyone ever type a long response and attempt to use the backspace key to correct a typo and suddenly find that that actually meant go to some previous page (like using the back button), and lose all your typing? I have run across that behaviour more than once. Other times also I have lost typing. One has to remember to copy before doing some operations, but the backspace key is really a hard one to 'copy' before correcting.
