Uh- not sure if this question belongs here, but hopefully I can get some advice. I have a message of approximately 150 words that I am looking to post on a bunch of websites. It is about the flycasting contests that will be held up north in a few weeks. Is there a way to just pop it on the site, or do I need to wear out my only two typing fingers?

Easy.. type it up as a new post on Reel-Time or wherever first. When you have the text the way you want it, and before you hit the "Post" button, do the following:
1) Click once anywhere within the text editor (this makes sure that you are about to copy the message text, and not some other part of the browser window)
2) Click the right mouse button once and choose "Select All" (this selects All the text in the editor window)
3) Click the right mouse button and choose "Copy" (this copies all of the selected text)
4) Go to another site, and create a new topic
5) Click anywhere within the text editor (this tells the computer where you want to put the text in the next step)
6) Click the right mouse button and choose "Paste" (this pastes the text into the text editor)
Edit and post as necessary. You will have to re-enter the Title for each forum.
If you want to copy the text from someplace else, just click-drag the mouse over the portion that you want and continue at step #3. This means you put the mouse cursor over the start of the text you want, and while holding down the mouse button, move the mouse down and to the left/right to highlight the text you want. Then right click, copy, etc..
FYI, this will work with most PC applications, its a pretty generic windows function and I'm sure there is some equivalent function for the mac.

Thank you! Great, simple instructions that even I should be able to handle.
