There I go again... a nonsense post after second reading. then I try to edit it, but it sounds even more nonsensical. Ugh... Let's try again... but no no I never use the preview post button.

Do you use this function? Or is everyone 100% certain their posts are coherent and sensible?

I usually use it for polls, since the poll options can't be edited. Voted no, though. I never use it for non-polls.

BTW, if it was you contribution to my dream poll which you considered nonsensical, it would be perfectly on-topic, especially since Aron's request.

I also mainly use it when posting a hand and bidding diagram, to make sure the bidding looks good.

Confess? I think those who post without reading what they wrote (or reading what others wrote) should confess...

I use it for hand diagrams and polls.

When posting only text I don't preview. Instead I reread my post after posting and edit typos or other mistakes right away.
Kind regards,

I used to use this function but haven't much recently. Perhaps that's because I go back and edit my post many times when I see things are wrong with it, which also drives up the 'viewed' count, thus making my post look more popular and interesting (as if it needs it).

I use it to check how the auction spacing goes. We really need a template.

Yes I know I should program one. But I got a book to write before that ;)
