    Is there really any logical reason to have this button when you're posting? I mean, if you change your mind about posting, then you'll probably just hit BACK or click some other link to go to a different page anyway. It just sucks because I'll be typing, and I'll accidentally hit ALT or one of the WIN95 keys and get a popup menu, so my natural instinct is to hit ESC and kill the menu ... but sometimes I'll hit ESC twice (on accident), and BAM my entire post (and of course, it's always when I have a REALLY long post typed out) gets cleared, can't undo, can't pass Go, can't collect $200...

    So anyway, I think it'd be a good idea to just eliminate the button altogether...

    This will no longer be a "feature" when we next update. .
