Gee, I wish tehre was a preview mode for posts. I'll just add that to the Penguin Discussion Wish List.

The preview is right in front of you! When you type that is what it looks like. You can edit and read through it as many times as you want. Why do you need to see it in the forums first?

heh, I'll answer your question. Why do I need to see it again when it is already right beofre me? Because the mind plays tricks on us. We are magicians. We, of all people, should know this. When we write something and re-read it, we see what we THINK we have written. This is common. We need to get some "distance" between what we have just written and what we want to proofread. A simple "preview" is enough of a transition to play the trick on our mind that what we have written was taken away and we are now looking at something "new; therefore it requires a more careful consideration. So, in short, A preiwe mode would fool us into proofreading our posts better.
