This is the first of two comments. This one is a `bug' report.The other one (which will follow) is some kind of rewrite of the comment that was lost.

The bug report: For at least the second time I have managed to lose a whole long comment, probably by `wandering around' between pages that are `cache' based vs. pages that properly represent the `current' state of Chris' pages. It is a _very_ frustrating thing to spend some time on a comment, and then lose it all---even if it is your own fault.

As a result I have decided, for at least a while, to create my comments completely outside of the web. Then I will cut and paste them in. That way, if they get lost I can just try again from my local copy.

Has anyone thought through this problem? I certainly haven't, but I'd be interested in any ideas as the problem occurs not just here, but everywhere that there are `response' boxes.
