not done with the intent of purging the system... typed with real intent to send... then as writing or concluding suddenly don't have the need to send and delete it.
I never sent one that I didn't mean... BUT... a number of years ago I wrote a snarky PM about a trend thread (tons of copycats) that I found annoying - but instead of sending as a PM - I accidentally posted it as a thread. Within minutes I realized it AND a DUer friend saw it (the person I had intended to send the PM to - as a means to vent the annoyance) and called me to make sure I realized what I had done (gone snarkily public with a mocking one-liner) - and I immediately alerted on the thread to ask it to be locked/deleted. Only was up for a minute or two - but ... sorta compares to the scenario you describe.
