There seems to be something wonky about posting—when I was helping Sue figure out how to post, I thought I’d made a test draft to Discussion, but it got posted.
This just happened to me, but I think it’s based on where you post from. I haven’t posted all that much, and recalled there being a choice of where to post. The last time I did this, I clicked “Save and Continue” but it posted to Discussion.
I quickly opened my post, clicked edit, clicked the button to see raw html, selected and copied all of it, and then deleted the post (it wasn’t ready in the least).
As an idea, I went to LW proper, clicked on “Submit an Article” and saw the familiar box at the bottom that let me choose “Submit to jwhendy drafts.”
So… long story short is that if you want to draft, create the article from the top level area and it will let you submit it as a draft; from what I’ve seen the Discussion area has nos such feature and thus both “Submit” and “Save and Continue” appear to do the same thing, except that “Save and Continue” leaves the window open despite having just an actual article.
Hope that helps.
Edit: Oh, and one last time in case it wasn’t clear… what I’m really saying is that I don’t think Discussion has a draft option at all.

Thanks for the clarification.
