The curse of the autosave...

Blogger added an autosave feature a while back. It does as the name suggests, and saves your posts automatically every few minutes, so that you're less likely to lose the thing if your browser crashes. It also allows you to stop mid-post with the intention of coming back later and finishing the post. This is where the problem arises…

Turns out, I LIKE autosave. A lot. A recent browse thorough my 'draft' posts revealed several that I'd finished, or nearly finished, then left off without posting because they'd already been saved as drafts. In more than one case, the posts were done, I just never hit publish.

In the interest of not letting these go buried, and not willing to move the dates up to something more recent, here's a few posts that almost never saw the light of day. Who knows… maybe that was a good thing.
