Dear TextEdit:

If your job is to edit text, as is implied by your name, why are the
only four file formats you offer to let me Save As as follows:

 - Rich Text (RTF)
 - HTML
 - Word Format
 - Word XML Format

Whither plain text?  Oh, I see. . . I've got to convert this document
first by going to the Format menu and selecting Make Plain Text.
*Then* I can Save As text.  Oh, and I see I've got to manually force
you to default to plain text.  Because naturally when I choose an
application called TextEdit what I want to do is RichTextEdit.  Not
like I'd open up Word or Pages or anything.

It's a good thing that I've already been exhausted by suck-ass
software today and have got no more energy for you, or else I might be
forced to remark that it's stupid crap like this that keeps stubborn,
elitist unix bastards stubborn, elitist unix bastards.  Christ, just
give me a terminal.

oh well, whatever, never mind.
--sabrina.
