I do it quite a lot. Sometimes I go off track, so I have to go back to stay on topic or I realise what I typed doesn't have to be said.
So do you ever type out a post and then change your mind and delete it?

Pretty frequently. Often, I just decide that I don't care enough to post something, or fear I will end up looking stupid or ignorant because I overlooked some small issue that I didn't think about. It's pretty much one or the other. But probably only a few times in a given week. More often than not, I finish my comments.
See? I finished this one. Go, Me!

I do this most of the time. Either it's too irrelevant, too over-said or too offensive. I almost did it with this one, actually...
It's after typing the post, then look up at the comments to see someone already summed up what you typed, with better grammar and sense.
Yes, and that is why actually talking to someone and texting/messaging/writing someone will never be the same.
You would not believe how many times I do that. Sometimes I see something happen, I go into a sorta ranty phase, and then when I've got it all down I just think "This would not end well for me" or something of the sorts. Totally bugs me crazy when I do that.
If I posted half the things I've deleted I would have never made it to 3000 posts before being banned.
Yes. I do this when I don't have the energy to finish my comment, so I just close the tab. Or if I fail the nose test, which is this: Would I want to punch the person who put this on the internet on the nose? If I fail the test, I usually don't have the energy to rewrite my post, so it leads to the first scenario.
All the time. Ill read over what I wrote and decided if that's how I wanted the wording and make sure it conveys what I want. Its what people SHOULD be doing more often to make sure grammar and context are used correctly.
Yup, most of them.
Sometimes I realise that I have nothing to say, or my post won't really add anything to the thread. On other occasions I almost post in a thread about something that I feel strongly about, and I convince myself to back away and think about it for a while. In the end I usually won't bother posting.
