That sucks :-(

In some browsers (Opera for example) you can press back and whatever you typed
in forms will still be there ... Not sure how this works with other browsers
... Guess it's to late for that now...

Other then this, I would recommend to _ALWAYS_, on any site/forum, copy
content to a file and/or the clipboard before submitting it in a webform.

You may also want to try using send-pr(1) included in FreeBSD base, IMO it
works a lot better than the webform anyway.

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old.  However, it's
a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house
who understands computers.
