Tech-ie note: blackfoot, when you finish typing your post in the box, with your cursor still in the text, right-click and choose "select all." When the text is highlighted, right-click and select "copy." That way if it gets lost, you can simply open a new reply box and "paste." I do this often with long, carefully crafted posts that wouldn't be easy to recreate. I assume that when I hit the "continue" button the post is going to disappear, and operate from that assumption.
