You could always type it up in a text editor, such as notepad, or even a word processor so you can check the spelling, then cut-and-paste it in when you're online.

Handy hint: If you do use a word processor, be very careful of quote marks, because many word processors will put in 'smart' quotes which won't work in (for example) in XML tags, and sometimes even appear as completely different characters.

Not necessarily. Being at the bottom end of the convo list just means that no one has posted to that convo for a long time. It just might be that the oldest conversation on here is actually active, somewhere near the front.

I think the true identity of Ask's first post may have to remain a mystery...

The content may be a mystery but I believe it was written on dried habra leaves (without the benefit of correcting fluid).
