At the risk of seeming dense, once I have started a post, how can I delete? To explain, I was in the process of typing (keying?) a post and I decided not to make the post but there is no 'cancel' button at least none that I can find.
I also tried to find a way to send a PM to the writer of a particular post but I could not find that option either.

Ray I haven't seen a cancel button either so I just hit the back button and return to the thred seems to work. If you click on the name of the poster it will bring up their profile then click on send pm from there.

Greg, I ended up doing the same thing but somehow it just doesn't seem like a very proper or efficient way to handle the escape.

Ray, I don't understand your objection to leaving by the door you came in at.

Jerry,
Remember that I am not very computer savy. I guess I have no objection IF that is the proper way to get rid of it. I was afraid that my partially, or fully, typed message would be floating out there in the interwebs for infinity, maybe to be discovered by some futuristic explorer. :shock: :D :D

I hope it didn't sound like I was talking down to you. It is the "proper" and accepted way. No need to invent a fifth wheel.
