When I'm working on a post, even a short one, life seems to interrupt constantly, along with my thoughts jumping around, so that I'm thrown totally off balance and it takes much longer than I originally anticipated. I also try to read what I've written before I click submit to check for typing errors and the tone I'm using. I don't want to appear any "stupider" or confrontational than I am or intend to be, just for speed's sake. I'm often unsuccessful but I still try.

I do the same thing! I even use the dictionary to spell check and make sure the definitions are the ones I intended. With so many people posting from all over the world, I don't want to offend anyone by using a word that could be misconstrued either due to regional usage or content.
My life also gets in the way of the timeliness of my posts. Especially, when my 8 year old daughter sees someone's avatar that she likes and makes me go back through the thread to show her other avatars! She loves to look at all the ones containing animals. She was particulary enraptured with the pirate guinea pig and the chihuahuas!!
By the way, Lady Blue, I have always enjoyed the wit of your posts and never noticed a lack of timeliness.
