Most of my posts are written directly in the textarea. This is mostly because I'm highly lazy, and often falsely lazy. It's also because cut-and-paste in X tends to mess me up for some reason. It's also because I become more perfectionistic about my formatting when I'm using an HTML editor, to the point where I never end up posting. (See, for example, this half-done tutorial on context, which I normaly would have just posted where I started writing it, and not decided that it should be recast as a tutorial... so now it's sitting, waiting for me to have another burst of wanting to talk about such things. (BTW, the contents of my pad tends to change quite a bit, so if you're reading this significantly after it's posted, that link is unlikely to go anywhere useful.)
