I fight my demons sometimes about the same thing. For those of you who don’t remember the older days of CC, you always had more or less the same amount of time to edit, but there was no auto saving of any draft you worked on. The downside of that is you could write the most brilliant novel, making points you thought would set the CC world on fire and make you the superstar of the forum… only to realize that you had blathered on so long thinking about whatever the heck you were working on that you were dumped out because of the time limit and everything you wrote, was lost forever.

Blatherers like me eventually learned to compose in Word and then cut and paste out of fear of the time clock. I think the blathering police in the IT department in CC designed the new version of CC to take their revenge and are saving our blather forever in a format that cannot just be left to be fixed until morning. Well played. I know I at least deserved the spanking. Now if you could design some sort of functionality that would allow us to delete what we wrote late the night before after a glass or two of wine when we have morning after regrets. Some of us might pay for that fix. Think about it but please prioritize putting those yellow dots back in the school specific threads that indicated activity first. Crickets are chirping over there because of the loss of those dots.
