Damned auto-save!

pyesetzSo I wrote up an entire entry about what this journal looks like in Russian, with example sentences translated to Russian and back from my "Norman Mailer" post. Then I accidentally hit the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination, which terminated my X11 session. "No problem," I thought, "LiveJournal has auto-save". So I logged back in and restarted Opera, which helpfully asked "restore previous windows?" Yeah, why not? Well, I'll tell you why not: Opera returned to the journal-update page with all the text missing, which LJ then auto-saved, erasing my post! Sometimes too many programs trying to be helpful at the same time is not a good thing.
The post wasn't really all that good, so I guess I won't bother recreating it. Still, it was fun telling Google to translate "unless you don't pay" and having it come back "unless you pay", which sort of fails to carry the meaning across!
Will LJ ban me if I don't mark this entry as "teens+adults only"? It contains the words "crazy sex" and "fucked", which are objectionable, but it also contains images of senseless violence, which apparently aren't.
