Just out of curiousity Mike are you using email 
or the Web interface?

I've lost so many posts due to problems with Yahoo, 
that I don't close the Tab (window) until after my 
post has shown up. I keep hitting Reload until my 
post appears in the thread list. 

If you use the Web interface it may not have occurred 
to you, but you can page Back a page or two and your 
post will still be there. If it seems that Yahoo has 
lost my post, I just page back, and hit send again.

If you are using email, then a copy should be in the 
SENT folder of your email program.

It sounds like you are using the Web interface, that 
is, going on-line and reading and posting on the
HPforGrownups/HPFGU-OTChatter webpage. I use 
Mozilla/Seamonkey Suite and sometimes Firefox which 
allow new tabs to be opened; meaning I can open a 
webpage in a single occurance of my browser, but have 
tab across the top, one for each webpage I have open. 

Typically, I have the main list in the first Tab, then 
right click and open three new posts, each in their own 
Tab, then I read and if necessary, reply to them. While 
I am waiting I go back to the main Tab, and open more 
posts. Periodically, I go back to the Tab in which I 
have posted a reply, reload, if my reply appears in the 
thread list, I close the Tab. If it doesn't, I page back 
to my post edit window and send it again.

If you use Internet Explorer, you can do the same thing, 
but you have to open each post in a separate window. The 
important thing is to NOT close the window or tab until 
your post has appeared.

I suspect, in your case, if you had hit the Back button, 
you would have eventually come to your post, and could 
have resent it.

Just passing it along.
