As for losing one whole damned article on LJ, join the club. My suspicion is that what happens is that, as I typed, my fingers hit the highlight, home and backspace keys - by mistake and in quick succession. Voila. Whole block of text right from the beginning deleted beyond return, since LJ has no "undo" key. In a more benign, but still infuriating, situation, you might lose a line.
