check for empty post before asking for confirmation

before this change, BBJ would give the big "You are posting
anonymously!" warning even if the post body was empty (say, because you
accidentally started a post and closed the editor immediately). only
after confirming that you _really_ wanted to post anonymously would it
notice that, hey, the post body is empty and discard the post.

it makes more sense to do the checks the other way around.
