Also, if I go to reply to something and then reconsider, is there a "discard" or "trash" button I'm missing, or do I just navigate away?
Thanks!

Yes, always copy what you wrote (highlight it, right click, and select copy) before you submit it. That way you can start over by selecting the post you want to comment on then right clicking and selecting paste to get your post back.
Learned the hard way too many times.
A very good alternative is to compose your post first in a word processor, then do the same copy process in the word processor before you respond to the LCD post.
I've noticed that you usually have 24 hours to edit your post including deleting it (pick the edit button on the lower right corner of your post first, then edit away and save it again). And, even after you can't edit it Unto Him is good about deleting any posts you regret later if you just request it with your Post number in the thread you posted the bad post in.
