Can you see your own petition threads in the petition forums?

[Portasaurus]

I just spent a long time typing up a long petition and then right before I was going to submit it, I lost my balance whilst sitting in a chair and fell onto my keyboard. I'm fucking serious.

When I looked up, I was staring at a blank petition form and I'm not sure if I somehow ended up clicking the submit button, or if I just cleared out the text and lost 30 minutes of typing, but the my petition forum is empty and now I'm wondering: Are you supposed to be able to see your own petition threads in the petition forums, or do they just go off into the ether?
