Really strange. I tried with Mozilla Firefox and IE 6.0 and none of them lost
the entry data. What browser did you use? As far as I learned, data only
vanishes on pages which have an HTTP header containing "Expires: ..." with a
date in the past. But I made sure that the entry form does not contain this.

Please refreain in the future from sending many small entries. People being
registered with email notifications on the forum get flooded by notifications.
In worst case, write your posting using an editor and do copy-and-paste into a
single posting.
