Booted offline while composing post

What to do when this happens? After writing when I hit the button to post the "unable to connect" window let me know that I had been disconnected and could not post. Question: Is there any way to save the message for posting after reconnecting or is the time & message totally lost?

Just do a highlight/copy of the text first. Might have been a traffic related problem. We have about a 3X increase in daily traffic now since last year.

Hi John. Welcome home.

How does one barely computer literate (such as myself) do this "highlight/copy?" What is it anyway?

[John Lindsey]

Put the cursor in front of the text. Hold left mouse down and drag it along all the text you want copied. This is highlighting. Then, right click on it and select copy.
