A similar annoyance is writing a well-thought out forum post, pressing submit, and being told in some way that your session has expired. Some sites you can go back to retrieve your post, others will just present you with a newly empty form.
Dear Cats on the internet, please spellcheck your posts and proofread them before you post your rants to the internet. Otherwise some people might think they are unpleasant to read and possibly wont take them serious. If you have a "related reading" section you might want to also use it to post some links to those guides. We are here to help each other, aren't we? And: No, I don't use reset buttons.

i have taken to select-all-copy before submitting anything anywhere for just this reason!

Wouldn't that better be served by a "new" button?
From user acceptance testing we done, that gives the impression it would create a new record from the populated data. Edit: we use the wording "Clear" not "Reset" btw.
Why not add the following rule to your user stylesheet? input[type=reset] {display: none; visibility:hidden;} That hides them all from view.

I thought everyone started doing this back in 1997.
Even better, get rid of your forms entirely, especially long forms with all kind of questions that you really don't need the answer to. Or have fields that are ambigious and improperly validated. Or multipage forms that have no way of going back without losing your filled in data.

Opera did a good job of remembering what I typed in the box quite well, right up until people started adding boxes to the DOM willy-nilly!
