No, you're not odd at all. Hey, if it works for you, do it. It's whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

I'm probably odd in this way, but I like to use mainstream solutions whenever I can, even on the keyboard. I find myself using the ctrl-f3 command to go to my dock instead of vo-d, for instance, and I very much prefer setting up shotrcuts through the operating system if I can help it. I don't know why, but there it is.

If you really want a service, try restarting; that, plus upgrading to the latest ML release, did the trick when my own service experiment refused to trigger.

It was definitely a VO issue, or maybe a vo user issue. ;) The happy news, is I have successfully created my service shortcut, but the shortcut doesn't seem to work anywhere. I can hit go-m, go to finder, then arrow down to services, and my launch messages shortcut is there. I can vo-space on it, and the app launches, but when I'm sitting on my desktop and hit my keyboard shortcut, the app doesn't launch. I'm going to try a different key combo and see it that remedies the problem. I'm just so tickled I created the automator task! Now lets see if I can make it 100% successful.

It's not from a VoiceOver perspective, but it should let you know what you can do and then you can figure out how to achieve the same outcomes with VoiceOver. If you're interested and have trouble finding it let me know and I'll give you more information or the link or something.
