I respectfully disagree. The issue could easily be resolved technologically, namely by adding a little pop-up window that says “Are you SURE you want to publish?” every time the Publish button is hit. I guess I’ll have to suggest that to the WordPress folks under threat of switching to Livejournal.com.

Aha. That actually means that there is no problem at all–except the issue of a trigger-happy author, which cannot be resolved technologically.

BTW, off message: Your RSS feed doesn’t seem to work properly. When I click through from my RSS reader, I get an error page….

Thank you. I’m aware of the issue. Being fairly new at WordPress and blogging in general, it happened a few times (and presumably will happen a few more times) that I hit Publish instead of Save Draft. Even though, in each such instance, I immediately proceeded to delete these erroneously published drafts, it appears they had already slipped out into cyberspace via my RSS Feed. So now whenever somebody clicks on these escaped draft versions in their RSS Reader, the meanwhile deleted content is Not Found. Not sure how to delete stuff in other people’s RSS readers that shouldn’t be there because I had published it by mistake. (At least I think that’s what’s going on.)
