My Drafts - who's got the most?

Philly_Q

I usually go back to drafts after an hour or two and think no, fuck it, I'm not posting that, then delete them.  There's just one I leave because it's been there for about 18 months and I've got attached to it.

I clear mine out regularly. (Ooh, er, missus.) 

When the motivation to comment strikes, I begin typing. If what I wanted to post still seems relevant and/or humorous, I post it. If the moment appears to have passed, I do not post.

Occasionally, I elect to post comments that, with the benefit of hindsight, probably could have been expressed less bluntly. Publish and be damned, I say.

I used to have a clearout when I got to 80 or so. I do it a bit more often these days.

867 drafts! I think I did clear them all out at some point as well. I think they are mostly empty boxes or half a sentence. I can't cope with seeing Notifications so I'm always straight in them, usually followed by a sigh of relief that it's nothing hateful. 
Prevarication and paranoia central here.

I always delete mine, but it can be a real pain in iOS, even in the 'Full Site' mode - the x is invisible at first and shows up when you touch anywhere on the title, but then trying to click on the x just takes you back to the thread every time. Sometimes there's just no other way than to wait until I'm on the computer.

I was the same. Wait till the x slightly fades then click on it. I think that will clear it every time.

Everyone should post all of their draft replies.. NOW! can you imagine the number of out of context necrobumps of half finished out dated replies?

(56 and counting)

Same issue here on iPhone, even in the full site. The x doesn’t fade, it just stays there solid as a solid thing. If I click on the x, it just opens the thread in a new window. I can only delete drafts via a laptop.

I also have zero unread emails.
I couldn't possibly live otherwise.

Yes, I have OCD in case you were wondering.

I have a second 'dirty' email account for stuff I don't want clogging up my main emails - plus its linked to my youtube account where my autistic son has subscribed to 50 billion crazy kids youtube accounts.

@digitalscream - Were'nt you going to increase the time between auto-saves to help with this ?
