Browser crashed while before posting response - way to retrieve draft?

I spent a long time detailing a reponse while using Chrome's anonymous browser - and I don't recall what the thread title is, or which forum I encountered it in. Is there a way I can retrieve this un-published response draft?

I found the thread: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19331321
The response-draft doesn't reappear, possibly because of using anonymous-browsing - is there at all any way to retrieve this? It was money.

I'm really sorry, I checked and confirmed that we don't have a draft of your reply saved. 
Assuming you've specified "how often to backup posts" in your basic preferences, drafts should be saved on the server for one hour. Could it have been more than an hour since your browser crashed?
Anyway, I feel your pain man, I've lost some epic posts over the years as well.

I think it definitely wasn't yet an hour at the time of your response, but I haven't previously set up backup periods. I'm going to try retrieving the post from memory storage tomorrow, and hopefully Chrome didn't over-write it when it relaunched after crashing - that's if Chrome's anonymous browsing stores in memory. I had already planned to not post it here so that I could self-publish it online for real income and what seemed a bit too good to be true floor-clearing opening-piece for establishment of a progressively-refining planned brand, and cautioned my mind to back the emerging small book up, but I had to taunt an [willfully selectively-framed] statistical extreme unlikeliness in pursuit of gratification over proving that I'm smarter than an inanimate object, to an inanimate object - and that's now two such blue-moons I've encountered in the last few weeks, both instances involving a likely excess of 70 open browser tabs (which specifically sparked a warning sensation of a possible crash experience repeat - but double-or-nothing usually gets me at "double", here meaning that the gratification of proving myself over an inanimate object, to an inanimate object would have been even way more gratifying), yet having still lots of unused and available RAM.
Tomorrow I will wade through a delirium of Chrome's archived procceses in a hex editor in hopes that crashed Chrome anonymous browser data will have initially and resiliently still be held - being anonymous, having crashed, and having relaunched the browser since the crash. Presently-retrievable tab-session's memory data seemed to number around 110 tabs, which doesn't seem to add up as either exclusively pre or post crash - which, I think should both be around an estimated 85 - 90, excluding private browser tabs - although, maybe including previous private browser tabs would provide account for the fully scope of the currently-accessible stored browser-items, though that means that data isn't written to memory until a crash is experienced, which doesn't make sense as storage would, in interim have to be stored on slow physical drives, and isn't supported by the allocated memory increase displayed through continued browser-tab utilization.
Big thanks for making that check for me!

I've read this online, which is very promising:
Quote:
However, what Chrome’s incognito mode cannot control, just like Internet Explorer’s “InPrivate” mode, is what ends up in RAM and the pagefile.sys file (virtual RAM). This is another wakeup call to revisit your workflow and processes to make sure the collection of RAM is a high priority and at the top of your “order of volatility” list.
Then I somewhat assume that archived memory data banks only become accessible after they're no longer associated with an open application.
