I just spent the last three hours thinking and typing a response to the whacked out situation in America only to find out the WordPress didn’t save ANY drafts while I was writing, even if I pressed save draft…
I AM LIVID RIGHT NOW!!!
I cannot help but compare my American home to my European one and vice versa.

I feel your pain. This has happened to me a few times. I now write my posts in Word, save them obsessively, then cut and paste into WP.
Your title “WTF” is pretty much sufficient, though.
Thanks. It was really frustrating because I did literally spend three hours attempting to craft a thoughtful piece backed up with research and relevant resources.
I may have to follow your advice and do the same with my writing. Isn’t it funny that no matter how ‘advanced’ the technology becomes we are still often limited by it all the same.
