I like automation. It has rules and follows them. The rules are posted

time to cause more damage. It's like your credit card company calling you
because suddenly there's abnormal charges on your card.

But it's definitely not cool when my credit card company cuts off my card
due to "abnormal charges" when I'm abroad and suddenly can't get ahold of
customer service via their international phone number. Automation in the
right places works wonders for both convenience and the bottom line. In the
wrong places, it's a sawed off shotgun pointed at your feet.
