More Like Not-Recover Post.

How come the 'recover post' button never seems to work? I'll be sitting away, typing happily, when suddenly, to my horror, I realize that what I've been writing is pure filth. I then proceed through the stages of reaction that instinctively occur when one discovers something like this:
1. Swear repeatedly. (Try and vary the profanity as it makes for a wilder ride.)
2. Hit the 'recover post' button.
And where exactly does this leave me? Certainly no closer to writing something worth reading, that's for sure.

It seems to me that if I press this 'recover post' button, I should find my post in a state of recovery, no? However, upon pressing the button nothing appears that would render the post salvagable. Nothing is added to make the post more witty or interesting and I am left staring at the tripe I already know is pure poo.

Then of course, I think to myself, "Delete, delete, delete." I always figure that maybe in order to truly recover the post, you need to get rid of all evidence of the previous attempt and let the whizzes at Blogger work their magic on a clean slate. So, I empty the ledger and try the 'recover post' button one more time. And what, my friends, do you think happens? All the previous post-poo appears again in its unaldulterated entirety. How on earth, may I ask, is that recovering a horribly lost post? If I've already deemed the post unpostable, how would bringing that masterfece back up aide the effort to write something decent?

Daytona Splendor thinks the 'recover post' button is fit... for the pit.

Your thoughts?


(MASTERFECE . n . A particularly large or shapely piece of poo. "Did you see what I dropped off earlier today? Man, I tell you what, it was a masterfece.")
