Do your fingers ever write something that you don't recall?

I was recently in a discussion with an Athiest, whom I respect. And I was responding to a response from someone else. When i looked at the response the following day, I was amazed at what I had written, because I didn't recall writing it. It was something I would have said, but not something I often state. It threw me a bit.
So, am I crazy? Do you ever write something that you agree with, but don't recall?

Yup, you're crazy. About as crazy as I am, I'd guess. =p
I do this all the time actually, and since you didn't mention doing it often, I'm probably crazier than you, now that I think about it. =P
Seriously, especially if I've been online for a while, I don't recall everything I responded to or what all I said, though I don't think I've ever caught myself saying something I didn't mean. Usually those posts are the ones that come across as either more emotional than usual or completely logical, with no emotion involved. I have no idea why.

But, let me know if we are on the same page, it's not bothersome to me. I'm agreeing with everything I say, I just don't remember saying it. LOL
Trust me, I know how it is to keep one eye and ear on a young child while trying to relate a feeling or thought. My kids are more important. But I often find the post to be brilliant. I just don't remember it. LOL

Yes! At times when I let my temper get the best of me, I do. I go back the next day and I am like "WOW", I really said that?? It's embarrassing to say the least cause I just let my emotions take over and the next day when I am fine, I have forgotten all about it. LOL, it’s like invasion of the body snatchers.

My big problem is that I totally agree with me. I'm reading what I've written and I say, "right on." but I can't recall the process. The bible discussions are a huge one for me. I think I may be on automatic pilot sometimes. Sucks being the child of a minister sometimes. But it's funny and when they cant counter or they come back with a spring response (not being mean, spring, just and observation) it makes me laugh all the more because I was not in my right mind when I answered.

This happens to me quite a lot. I am often asked to write a study/lesson/message on a set subject and reply immediately "I can't do that!" and really, I know I can't.
After putting it off for a while, I start - and keep going - and when I've finished and I read it, I think - (correction: I KNOW) - that it wasn't me who wrote it. I sit there amazed, humbled, and privileged.
Earlier this week, because of an email from an ex myLot member, I read through some of our earlier discussions and had the same feelings. I was again amazed at what I had written in responses. I could not remember writing them - or at least, not the actual things I had said.
