For your 'think for a long time' example, I'd suggest you look at using
javascript and cookies. In Blogger, for example, while you're posting a
message, the system tells your browser to save the form's contents to a
cookie every few seconds. So if your browser crashes and you go back to
blogger, you get the 'saved' post back.
In case you're wondering, I currently use BlogCFC, but I've been a blogger
for almost 5 years now, and originally I had my blog on Blogger, long before
it was purchased by Google.
