I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but usually if you are writing something on the web and it fails to send or something, either you can go back (using the back button) to when you were typing it and it will be there, or it could not be there. I wouldn't think it would be there by the sounds of it. I've had that before when posting really long forum posts, and it sucks, because there really isn't anything that can be done as far as I know.
2 hours though… man that sucks.
