This. I am getting better at it, though some might find that debatable. 
Maybe… one post in three gets tossed before hitting “submit”. Sometimes I’ll type out something long and involved before realizing I’ve meandered pointlessly, and sometimes I’ll type something really snarky before deciding it’s not worth it.
This may scare the crap out of the people here but I really do try to shut the hell up.
Yup, tons, insecure, the rest of you know what I’m talking about, why am I posting this?
… nobody needs to know anyway, my writing style is horrid and I can never connect sentences how I want to. What if one of those grammar nazi’s are reading? What if I make a typo that lives in infamy forevermore as an internet meme? And I shouldn’t trouble people with reading what I write, its really nothing that they would be interested in, and if they did read it, they’d know I’m really stupid and then make a note of that every time they see my username…*breathes in, breathes out…"
Wow… I was going to ask the same question!.. but resisted. I thought I was the only weird one here. It’s nice knowing I’m not alone.
I do it all the time, but probably not enough. 
I resist most of the time. I’ve been posting a little more lately due to unemployment.
Yes.
(I have a talent for the obvious.)
Yes, for the same as most of the previously mentioned reasons.
Oh, “me too” posts are not allowed?
Now, where’s that cancel button?
Guilty
Me, too. But not enough it would seem, judging by some of the replies I get sometimes. 
Including maybe for this one, too? :eek:
Almost every time. And at least half the times I do post, I typically start off writing a post that is 3x as long as what I end up submitting.
All the time.
Sometimes, I can tell that my point will just take too long to type up, and is not worth the effort. Sometimes, I don’t want to add a simple “Me, too!” type of response. And sometimes, it’s just clear that the thread doesn’t need my wiseassery.
Joe
I’ve been around for 7, almost 8 years, and I have less than 400 posts. I delete 99% of posts I start.
A lot of times I think I have something worth saying, and then I read over my reply and realize that I’ve said nothing substantial or interesting, so I don’t post. I think this happens more often than not.
Yes, and after reading this thread I am encouraged to never start or delete without submitting even more potential posts. The reasons people give above are good ones and the restraint people show is admirable.
this is a major reason for me, too.
Yes, and I should probably do it more often. I’m quite often not as funny as I think I am.
So basically we’re all unfunny, insecure, hesitators…
What a lovely bunch o’people
I keep wanting to make a joke about how I’ve been devising witty replies to this very thread and then holding back when I realize they’re not actually as clever as I think, but it wouldn’t really be that funny.
