Lesson of the Day: Always paste messages somewhere else before posting in case you go over your graemlin limit and have to hit the back button and lose everything.
I usually type long posts in WORD then cut and paste, just because I've lost too many in the past.
But for a graemlin count in particular, you can hit preview first rather than post. If you have too many it will tell you and you can just close down the preview screen and delete until it tells you it's fine.
