It happens to some people. Now that you know that it happens to *you*, I suggest you hit the "Save draft" button now and then as you're writing. An alternative would be to write your post elsewhere - Notepad, a doc file, whatever - and then copy/paste it into the message box.
What are you using to post - phone or other mobile device or computer? What browser are you using? Version of the operating system? All those questions may help the moderator/tech people figure out why this happened to you.
I use Windows 7, Chrome or Firefox browsers, and have never gotten a time-out error message.
