If whatever system you’re working with has a copy and paste feature, try this: Compose your post, then when you’re ready to submit it, highlight the whole thing and click on Copy in your toolbar (assuming you have such a feature on your e-beast). Go ahead and post. If the hamsters have it for lunch, hit Reply in the thread again and paste the saved copy into the new composition box. I developed that habit on my previous computer, which had a positive addiction to crashing just as I was submitting a long post. This is in essence what **fluiddruid** advised you. I don’t even think of it as a clipboard, just the copy feature. Hey – no one ever accused me of overweening tech expertise! 😃 But see if your system lets you do this. Oh, and I thought Copy & Paste were a better team, more raw-real and gritty. Dumping Copy for Cut was a stupid move, they sounded like every other garage band with delusions of Metallica. ---

All the drugs, I guess… Clearly you are forgetting that he tried to resurrect his career with Run, but Cut and Run didn’t really have the chemistry that made Cut and Paste so popular. Of course when Run met Hide, it was all over for C&R. R&H would probably have outsold the Beatles if it hadn’t been for Hide falling for that no-talent Japanese conceptual “artist” Seek, who many blame for breaking up the group. ---

You also forgot R&H’s little collaboration with Duck. An entire album of quacking sounds didn’t go over too well with R&H’s fan base, to say the least. ---

> [@Mama Tiger](#): > > I thought Duck had moved on to team up with Cover. He did, but their first project, _Kiss Your Ass Goodbye_, was too avant-garde for the time and sank like a stone. Duck then tried to form a power trio with his brother and a cousin, but they spent too much time running around to get anything meaningful recorded. Cover’s last solo effort was _and microwave on High_ released in 2001. ---

Too bad Eat decided to join up with Shit and Die – the fights with the record label were legendary, and IMO that’s why their one album, “In Your Face”, never got enough airplay. ---
