Imagine typing a heart-felt piece of advice dissemination, or, the writing of an overly technical diatribe into a web form. You spent a long time to ensure that your message would be easily digested. Upon clicking "submit", IT IS GONE. Database Error. Connection Error. Hole In The Ozone Error. Who cares, it's gone. You will never have the desire to convey that recipe again. When you enter the solution or data again, it will be minimal, half-assed and submitted with a "get it over with already" attitude. The "cake" is your initial sh*tcanned submission and you will never have that "recipe" (your passion for giving a sh*t about the initial topic) again.
