The disbanding of their automation team didn't convince you Automator is
going the way of the Dodo? They bought an iOS app called "Workflow" and 
it looks like they believe that's the future. I'm sure they'll move it into their
"traditional desktop" OS  but they obviously care more about mobility and
the cloud because that's where the lion's share of their revenue lives.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Automator is doomed ;)

Seriously, they did say they would continue support and you know what
that means: No more development. This equates to a death knell IMO.

I was just posting a reply to this using slrn in Linux and I thought it went 
through but the terminal seemed to have frozen and I quit it so the text
may have gotten lost. I looked for a folder (vim and slrn) where a tmp text 
file might have gotten saved but I can't find one. Is there such a beast? I
seem to recall seeing one once somewhere.

You might have used muscle memory and hit control-s which is a hot-key
for xoff.Hit control-q to XON again. It's common for people who are used
to control-s to save. They hit when in Vi and freeze up everything and
get confused.

Such muscle memory type stuff is why it is important for a system to have
similar hot keys, menu names, menu placements, etc.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot
use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow
superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

I suppose cmd-s is possible but I'm not likely to hit control-s without being aware of it. 
i don't think that's what happened, though. In any event, I can't find the post I wrote ;)

If it was in vi, look for a .something.swp file.  Under tin/vim, it's 
.article.<number>.swp

Maybe you have these:

% Filename where articles / email you sent are archived.
% Note: If these are unset, slrn does not keep a copy of outgoing messages.

I ran:

find /home/steve/ -name "*.swp"

If I had it I'd assume that would find it regardless of the directory.

It would if it's a vim swap file.  I assume the My_Posts and My_Replies
are themselves files, not directories, in the way that tin's Mail/posted
is a single file to which posted articles are appended.  I really have
no experience with slrn to speak of though, so can't help beyond the
above.

Thanks for the effort. Not a big deal as the post was just me pointing
out how Apple dumping Automator would piss some people off but,
in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't going to affect the "average"
user much.
