Well isn't this a revelation? I hadn't used Quicksilver since services were introduced, and OS integration was sketchy at best back then so never did it occur to me that qs would ever have services. I've done away with the triggers for send to qs and am now using the services.
What's even funnier is that the service had my old key-combo for this trigger, so something has clearly carried over from the day of yore.
