Dale, this happens to me once in a while with all of the forum systems. Sometimes, I can get it back with the back key. If you stayed on the same page and accidentially deleted the entire post by selecting all and typing, perhaps you can get it back with control-z (undo).
It's frustrating, but I don't think this is somethink I can help with. I also type my long posts into an email... that's convenient for spell check and (typically) won't get lost if I fat finger the keyboard. If I get distracted, it stays in my drafts folder.
I wish I could help more. I look forward to some soul food!
