Yes. I guess my attention to detail has failed me again. Yes. Nightfox not Nightfall 
:-(

I was just saying the vim editor also had same issue, but error was more obvious
"Couldn't write swap file". So I knew it was disk space or permission issue.

The error in SlyEdit was like a TypeError . Nothing that I could related to failure
to writing the temp file.

 Ni> Synchronet's JavaScript functions to save the message.
Ok. I just thought maybe it could be caught and reported with a human error 
message, rather than a javascript type error.

....I say we nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure
