Sometimes after starting a post, I decide not to continue.

As there is no "Cancel" button on the "Post a New Discussion thread" page (See below) I usually have to delete what I wrote and then move back or forward to another destination. Is there another alternative, or do you think a Cancel button should be added?

If you just go back or forward a page, the post will disappear. No need to erase.
