Yes, occasionally.  Usually when I want to vent my frustration without running the risk of seeing my post Inks'd.

No, but I regret posting many things over the years.

Sometimes I'll start typing, read what I wrote, think "this is dumb' and then stop typing, yeah.

oh damn, I missread.  I don't write them knowing before hand I'm not going to post them, that seems silly and a waste of time.  I type 'em up and then realize I'm being a dick for no reason or my point is dumb or I'm not smart enough to put my point into readable words or I'm just repeating somebody else or probably a dozen other reasons.

On a second thought I used the forum's spell check for other purposes, but that's all.

Yeah, I'd hope all of our more prolific posters have done that on occasion, but I've never written anything I intended while writing to never post.

Not really, although sometimes I'm going in with the assumption that I'll disapprove of the final product, but I always have naive hope I can make it good enough.

I type 'em up and then realize I'm being a dick for no reason or my point is dumb or I'm not smart enough to put my point into readable words or I'm just repeating somebody else or probably a dozen other reasons.

Yeah, basically this--happens all the time for me.
